One Last Chance to Shop the Holly Tea

St. John's 1st Virtual Holly Tea & Craft Sale has been very successful, but we have items, particularly donated items, still for sale. We are pleased to announce that the Holly Tea page will remain open and active until Wednesday, December 9, 2020 at midnight.

Just a reminder about how to shop the virtual vendor tables: look for and click on the word Photos, then Albums, and make sure you click on See All. Then pick a virtual “table” (photo gallery) among the different albums and click on it. Once inside an album, click on photos of the items in which you are interested. When you see the description for an item you would like to buy, just comment “SOLD” and say pay now (e-transfer) or pay later (at pick up). Some items are no longer available and will be marked as sold or sold out.

Many thanks for all of your purchases and donations which not only help our artists and craftspeople, but also St. John's West Toronto Anglican Church and the surrounding community. The Christmas spirit is alive and spreading its warmth.

Wishing Peace and Blessings to All!

GOODNIGHT FROM ST. JOHN'S HOLLY TEA & CRAFT SALE!

It's been lovely sharing this weekend virtually with everyone and we hope we have captured some of the essence of what it is like to come in person. If you missed any of the videos and posts or would like to share them again, or would like to purchase any items that may still be available, this site will continue to be open for a few days. Please note that items which appear available after 7 p.m. on Sunday, December 6, 2020 may need to be confirmed still available before purchase. Any questions, please message us through the Holly Tea page or send an email to [email protected].

Thank you to the organizing team, amazing tech support volunteers, crafters and artisans, artists, performers, writers, cooks and bakers. This whole event would not have been the same without all of you!

We look forward to seeing you again next year, virtually or in person!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful and joyful New Year!
