We had some lovely feedback from a customer who attended the crepe flower making session with Olha Zhydestska at Ilkley Library.
She said: "I had the loveliest afternoon with a super bunch of ladies making crepe paper flowers with Olha.
The flowers made by each person, were beautiful and individual.
We laughed and chatted and enjoyed ourselves.
Many thanks to Olha and to Ilkley Library for putting this event on.
