Boutique de Noel
T
he Junior League of
London held its 39th
annual Boutique de Noel
shopping evening on 27th
November in Chelsea Old
Town Hall, a change from its
usual venue in Kensington.
It was a very wet and cold
evening which might explain
the lack of supporters at the
beginning, this event in the
past was always crowded and
oversubscribed however Father
Christmas mingled and
remained jolly and London
based Capella Harmony Choir,
the Treblemakers, started the
schedule of events followed by
Flora Medicott Quartet. Both
were excellent and very
entertaining.
The Treblemakers started the festivities.
Two beautiful rooms in the
Town Hall were filled for
festive shopping but
stallholders were hoping for
much busier trading the
following day. Goods on offer
were high quality such as
Rosie Watson bespoke
jewellery and exquisite
Claribel products from Peru.
Freddie’s Flowers who deliver
beautiful seasonal flowers to
your door seemed to be the
very busy.
Two beautiful rooms filled with shoppers’ delights.
