Oh, Yeah

Say, Beltane is coming up and Esfenn is having that silent auction to support next year's Feast of Fine Arts/Arts Fete. I need to kick myself into gear about that. Clean out the garage... beg... plead... offer favors.

I know that we have a bunch of things for the auction, since the First Sword autocrat says that he has prizes already. (Yes, falzalot, you can skip that thought here.)

I am also hoping to have talk a lot of people into offering promissories or spiffy items. Just today, misagillian agreed to offer a couple of hours of babysitting at an event (priceless!) I'm also hoping to find other arts and service type promissories - one of my favorites that I ever had was a period breakfast for four by madbaker that semy_of_pearls won (sadly, a long time ago). Yummy. 

I will be calling a few people, but please (pretty please with a honey & wine conserve on top) consider this a shameless, brazen request for donations, a bit of volunteer time, or harsh rejection.

Oh, dear, I need to make a couple of hats for this, too. And maybe some pear crack. (That's a silent auction and bake sale!)

I'd be happy to donate something but I'm really wracking my brains as to what. I can't think of anything I make or do that somebody else doesn't already do better. Silly, I know. If you can think of something feel free to suggest and I'll be happy to donate.

First, you do many sewing things much better than the general population.

I'm personally quite thrilled with your hand-hemmed veils, since I hate doing hand-rolled seams. I'd love to auction one of those.

Or old fabric that you look at now and realize that you have... gotten past that stage in your life.

I'll be happy to donate a hand-hemmed veil then. And I'll take a look through my fabric stash.

Hooray! Thank you.
