maria9 Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Hi all, It is getting close. Some have wondered what to bring to the auction and raffle and what has sold well in the past. Items featuring mushrooms (not the indigestible kind :-) ) have sold very well in the past. Here are some on line shops that sell a variety of mushroom related products www.madaboutmushrooms.com and www.justmushroomstuff.com. The baskets featuring wine and other goodies have also sold well. As you know the auction and raffle helps to pay for the conference and further research for CH so anything you can do to help would be appreciated. Thanks and I am looking forward to seeing you all soon, Marsha Quote
Brew Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Mrs. Brew is working on a special, one of a kind piece of art which will make its way to Las Vegas this year. Quote
1961mom Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I predict it's new home may very well be in the Willamette Valley! Just sayin............ ;D ;D ;D Quote
Brew Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Bring your checkbook - I think there are several others who may have the same notion. Quote

weezey Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Since we can't be there (boo hoo), I am sending a hand made speciality. Anyone who needs a baby gift in the near future, keep your eyes open for this. Hugs to all, Louise Quote
QnHeartMM Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Hi all, I'll be sending a quilt with Joe for the auction. Here's a picture of the top (before borders and backing are applied). I'll be finishing it up today. What was intended to be a "throw" size is quickly turning into a twin bed size! I would use it as a nap quilt on the couch and my feet will be covered! Quote
QnHeartMM Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Finished it, phew, just in time. It measures 69x56. Quote
1961mom Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 The mosaic is on it's way via UPS! I'm so excited! It's just beautiful Ms. Brew! Quote
spiny Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Beautiful quilt!!!! So much work there! Awesome! Brew: It looks like my brain running away while my eyes watch!!!! A lot of meaning there for us. Well, in my opinion. Glad it went great and everyone had a ball. 8-) Quote
mrweekend Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Brew and I had quite a battle for that quilt! End the end, he won. Congrats. Quote
spiny Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 OK. Next time I am going to notify that my donation will go for the auction, not a lightening bolt!!!!!!!! And, I will get someone to make something 'cool' to donate! Well, unless you guys would go for home grown veggies prepped for the pantry or freezer!!!!!! I do make awesome venison jerky that sells around here for 10.00 per 4 oz. But, you guys might not like that. :'( spiny Quote
diamondmaker Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Venison jerky? Now why wouldn't we like that? I love bambi... yum. Quote

Psiloscribe Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 The auction was a huge success. thank you to everyone that not only donated items but to those that were so generous in their bidding. This year's auction was by far the largest fundraiser in our 7 years. We are all incredibly appreciative to everyone and the funds raised will go a long way in helping us continue to achieve our goals. Thank you all, Bob Quote
