The X-mas sale organised by the Teresian Alumni
Association at St Teresa's College on 23rd December,
2007 was a huge crowd-puller.This exhibition cum-sale
happens only once a year,but everyone looks forward to
it. Because its more than an expo. It's in fact a meeting
ground for old friends and renewing friendships.

I look forward to this fair as this is the time to meet
old friends.Apart from temple jewellery,I have displayed
hand-embroidered handkerchiefs and they are selling like
hot cakes. I don't count on the profit. But the
satisfaction you get when people pick up and appreciate
  something made by you is inexplainable, says
Sudha Balachandran,a staff of the college.

The expo is a platform for student-turned entrepreneurs.
About 99 percent of housewives have no formal outlet to
sell their products. This expo gives them the much needed
publicity to prosper in their ventures.There were cushions,
cushion covers,bedsheets, quilt covers,kitchen towels,
mittens, aprons and more with embroidery and applique work.

There were 71 stalls presenting various items like stitched
kurtas,skirts,dry flowers,candles,saris, kidsclothing,
jewellery, bags, Christmas decorations, shoes and food items.

Some of the stalls were selling homemade chocolates,
nutmeg and grape wine and a variety of   pickles and
jams.It was indeed a colourful fair which brought under
one roof women who were not only glamorous but also
creative and enterprising.
