Another wonderful success for the 30th Welcome Neighbour bazaar held this morning at the beautiful villa of Stefania Mancinelli Varani in Olgiata. the sun even held up and brightened the rooms and set its warm rays on the lovely works by Laura bernard (Il viandante) and Eva Moretti as well as Maria Teresa Canovi, all very faithful Welcome Neighbour friends from years back ,, who share their talent in sewing, knitting and crouching.. Inside we could admire the handicraft by Elisabetta and Angela Vertefeuille, the beautiful cashemere sweaters and designer jeans and belts offered by Laua Pazzaglia and the beautifully handcrafts by Paola Jackie Leto decorated a whole wall with her unique and soft coloured paintings while Loredana Albonetti displayed her elegant bags and jewellery.
All donated raffle prizes and there were lots of winners, among whom, as always, the ones who have never won before!
The large pool table in the middle of the room strongly resembled a king's banquet with all the international dishes from Japan to Zambia, Italy, England and Australia.
the true international spirit of friendship, of wanting to share something with someone else, perhaps someone who's also left their home behind, far far away in another country, was so present.
A huge thank you to Stefania for hosting, to Tonia for being such a great helper, to all the vendors and to Roberta from Gosselin, an International Moving company, who have decided to adopt our cause and sponsor our next issue of the Vivi Vejo magazine.
See you all for our Christmas greetings and ornament exchange lunch at Veronica's on December 12th!
