 The
first photograph shows the Vegetable Market Stall in the foreground
and the Carolers in the back.
Mr. Sinclair has been running the vegetable stand for many years now, as did his father before him. Little Margaret is buying some onions and potatoes in anticipation of the lovely Christmas dinner she will be making for herself and her adult son. In the back row the Carollers stand in front of the Christmas tree, singing their tiny hearts out.

A closer look and Mr. Sinclair's veggies. Oranges, onions, cucumbers and some Christmas bouquets are for sale today. I made most of the vegetables twice. This was the first stall I made for the miniature market,as years went by I learned better techniques for making vegetables so I made most of them again |
Carrots, peppers,
cabbage and lettuce. |

The Carol Singers
The Carol Singers are at the Miniature Market every year at Christmas. They sing to raise money for the poor. The group changes from year to year and anyone is welcome to join in. Let me introduce them all to you. |

It can be said that Miss
Ada Gill is the backbone of the singing group. She is a retired school
teacher, it is she who organizes the rehearsals and makes sure that
everyone shows up on time. Miss Gill is named for a school teacher
I had from age 9 to 11. She had a very positive influence on me and,
I would imagine, all of the other girls that she taught. |

Young Caroline is turning
13 next month. She is very pleased to have a new outfit to wear this
Christmas. She loves music and is learning to play the piano as well
as the flute. |
It is hard to see Jack
