Highlights from the Waldorf Winter Fair
We spent our first weekend of Advent volunteering at the school's Winter Fair. It is a very fun way to kick off the Christmas season.
Gingerbread Houses to decorate with all sorts of woodland treasures.
Helen, now a beloved Alum, finally old enough to be the "Pocket Lady."
The Gnome Circus--a magical world filled with...well...gnomes performing a circus.
Gnomes on a flying trapeze.
Tumbling Gnomes
And crowds of cheering gnomes who went home with each child.
Our class ran the cafe...soups, breads, and baked goods. A very fun hang-out spot for alums and their parents.
A fun time was had by all.
Oh fun! Is this the event you made the lovely cookbooks for a year or two ago? Remind us what a pocket lady is, ok?
The Pocket Lady wanders the halls of the fair. She wears a big apron filled with little gifts such as tiny baskets, wooden acorns, bells on a finger-knitted string, tiny felt bags, etc. For the price of one ticket, a child can reach in and pull out a treasure.
Heavenly. The sweet acrobatic gnomes, the pocket lady ... swoon. I love Waldorf fairs.
What a cool fair, just love the Gnome circus. cheers Marie
It looks like it was a great faire!
That bread looks amazing!
