The St. Bart’s Bazaar is one of the most popular events of the fall. Not only is it a great place to meet friends, enjoy tea together and see your neighbours, it also presents great tables of bargains including antiques, gifts, jewellery, books, preserves, attic treasures, toys, games, crafts, knitting, Christmas decorations and a superb bake table.

You will enjoy great shopping knowing that you are helping many important causes.

The event not only supports the work of the church, but also the food bank at the Rideau Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre, Cornerstone Housing for Women and Belong Ottawa at Centre 454 and at The Well/La Source (day programs which provide food, social supports as well as showers and laundry facilities).

In the past, our bazaar has always been a success, and it is mainly due to YOU!   We are only as good as the donations we receive!  So, we respectfully ask that should you be downsizing or wanting to dispose of items in your home, please consider donating to our bazaar.  We always need unique souvenirs, classic tea sets, glass, costume jewellery, books, attic treasures, toys, games and any special hand-made items.  Closer to the date we would also appreciate home baking and preserves!

If you have any questions at all, please call either Liz 613-745-4677 or Linda 613-298-9980.  We would be happy to pick up boxes from you and thank you in advance for considering St Bart’s.

Looking forward to seeing you on Nov. 2 at 125 MacKay Street, 12 p.m. to  4 p.m.

— Linda Assad-Butcher and Liz Heatherington are co-conveners of the annual bazaar at the Church of St Bartholomew, Ottawa.
