It’s being held the day before Mother’s Day but Katie Rose Cottage Op Shop volunteers at Tewantin say it won’t be too late to select and buy something for mother or, for that matter, yourself at their fashion parade.
The shop’s annual fundraiser will be staged this Saturday at the Masonic Hall in Moorindil Street, Tewantin, and the modelled clothes and jewellery are for sale on the day.
And not only vintage clothes will be on display. Manager Tina Grigson said some top brand labels had been donated.
“We are grateful to jewellery designer, Pauline Ramsay-Murray, for items for the models to wear. Also, to shops like Classy Lady, River Beauty and Foot Motion for vouchers for the raffle,” Tina said.
“We have a painting by artist Clive Holden, of Coolum Beach as the lucky door prize. Clive, with his wife Barb, are the founders of Coolum HeArts a community group which provides access to different arts.
“We supply broken bits of pottery and jewellery to its mosaic group for some of its amazingly beautiful work.
“When Clive heard about our fashion parade, he willingly donated one of his paintings.”
Tina said the event was being organised by shop volunteers. “They’re setting up, making cakes, looking after wardrobe, modelling and clearing up everything afterwards.
“We have a happy team and, if our customers are happy, then we are doubly so. It’s just a happy way to raise money for Katie Rose.”
Katie Rose Mother’s Day Fashion Parade. Tickets $20 on sale at Tewantin Op Shop, 5/84 Poinciana Ave, Tewantin.
