We have a very special fundraiser for the start of the new term.  Julie’s mum has a neighbour called Mary, who is 93 and completely blind.  Her hobby is making soft, cosy, chenille blankets which she knits with her fingers!  We have lots in nursery and use them in the story corner, the home corner and for our “babies” who rarely wear any clothes and who like to be cosy.

Last week Mary gave Julie a big bag of 15 blankets and said we should sell them to raise funds for the nursery.  There are lots of different colours and they are all gorgeous.

They measure approx 105 cm by 70cm and are ideal as a cot or pram blanket, or as a snuggly for older children.  Mary makes them with the softest chenille and they really are a labour of love.

We have lots of different colours: pink, mauve, cerise, lavender, cream, lemon, and some lovely multi-coloured ones.  If you would like to buy one please ask any member of staff or call the nursery – 0141-955-22532.  As there is a limited number it is first-come-first-served.

The blankets cost £10 each.  All the money will go to our nursery fund.  We are making a special sensory card with the children to say a huge thank you to Mary – a kind and thoughtful lady, with a very special talent.
