little bags


Our eldest daughter arrives from South Africa, on Wednesday we go to Devon and will be joined by the rest of our kids for my Mothers funeral on Friday. Primrose, Maggie and Gilby will be joining us after the church service, it will be a long day as the committal will be in Cornwall later in the day. I thought I would make the children a little draw stringed bag each and fill them with toys that I have collected, some new but mostly from the Oxfam shop (those have had a good clean in the dishwasher)
I am hoping these little treats will keep them occupied throughout the day :)

Cute little bags for cute little children. So sorry. Hope you will have some together time with your loved ones, on that day.

That is a great idea and will help to keep the children entertained during the long and difficult day.

I am sure the bags will become precious reminders of your mum too in their own way xxx

Perfect to keep them interested and entertained. Hoping your time with family is extra special.

A great idea, for sure! So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

This is a great idea, especially in light of the fact that there will be less to keep them interested in, during the services. You are a wise and kind grandma.
