SNAKES ALIVE! 100 door snakes in 100 days

Well, we're just 11 sleeps out from the conclusion of the Tasmanian Leaders / Anglicare initiative 100 door snakes in 100 days project. 

Oatlands Handmade is thrilled to be contributing a {bed, den, nest, pit, knot} of snakes and other critters !  I think we will have well over a dozen to contribute. THANK YOU so much to those who played with us.    I'd particularly like to thank my 96 year old Mum who has made 3 so far (!) and to local Sue who has brought in 5 (fantastic effort).....
................But, don't forget, you've still got more than a week to drop off some more!

I think they were on their way back from the Pancake and Crepe Shop next door LOL

We will be puting our snakes in the shop window this week so everyone can enjoy them!
