Tonight Is THE Night!

Gee, it seems like it was just a month ago when I was asking people to join me in this quest and look at us now :o)

If you don't subscribe to the Attic's newsletter, you can view it on their website. Jean has been VERY busy photographing the donations and as of yesterday, they had over 300 items! This is all so exciting!

From the pictures they have taken, I have made up a list of our items so we can keep track. Unfortunately, they did not complete all the items so I am missing a few :o( Here is what I have so far -

Carol - Item 51 MOB $30

Nia - Item 52 MOB $25

Annie - Item 63 MOB $30

Carolyn - Item 71 MOB $15

Tammy K - Item 72 MOB $20

Me (Pumpkin) - Item 86 MOB $35 & Item 87 MOB $25

Natalie - Item 88 MOB $40

April - Item 126 MOB $15 & Item 127 MOB $20

Jolene - Item 128 MOB $25

Cole - Item 138 MOB $20

Irene - Item 139 MOB $25

Ranae - Item 170 CB $60 (yes, that means that there is a bid on Ranae's ornament!)

Harmien - Item 171 MOB $25 & Item 172 MOB $25

Christina - Item 179 MOB $25 & Item (was not listed yet)

Alberta - Item 198 MOB $20

Cindy - Items 291-295

If you know of something I am missing, plmk or add it to the post.

So as it stands, if we get the minimum bids on each item, we will have raised at the very least $480 :o) I know we can do that! LOL!

At the end of the auction, I'll forward all the information to Jean and then she can let us know the outcome. Fingers crossed ladies!

I want to extend a HUGE thank you again because without all of you, this would not have been possible. You've shared your time and talents and I really appreciate that :o)

2010 BCRF Breast Cancer Benefit

Guess what? In less than a week, the 2010 BCRF Breast Cancer Benefit will be under way! How did time go by so fast????

On Saturday, November 20 at 6 pm the auction will start :o) Jean is going to be posting pictures of all the items via the newsletter. If you are not subscribed to it, you can also view it on the Attic's website. I can't wait to see everything!

There have been a few of you who have been wondering if you can bid on the items and the answer is YES you can! Here is the information directly from Jean at the Attic -

"A brief description of the numbered item will be included, along with its item number, so while you may not be able to join us in person, we welcome your participation. You may bid either by e-mail or by phone by calling our toll-free number: 1.888.94-ATTIC (1.888.942.8842). We are not set up to do online bidding, so if you see an item that you love, it is my suggestion that you make your best bid, knowing that the proceeds all go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Some of the more coveted items will go for hundreds, and some even thousands.

To accept your bid, we need your name, address, phone number, and credit card information (if not already on file with us). You will be notified in the week following the auction whether you were the successful bidder, and arrangements can be made for payment."

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone again for all their time and donations. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to come together as a group :o) I'm anxious to see how we well do and yes, I will definitely post the outcome!

I wish those who will be bidding good luck! I know there will be some amazing pieces...we've already had a sneak peek ;o)
