MFR Cash for Kids On Air Auction

It's that time of the year when Moray Firth Radio (MFR) have their on air auction in aid for Cash for Kids.  The auction take place all weekend and is going on as I write this.

It is a special auction as all money raised stays within the MFR area (Inverness, Grampian and Highlands).  They do of course raise money throughout the year, but this on air auction raises an exceptional amount of money.  The link here tells you all about what magnificent work they do.

This year, Lazy Daisy Glass has donated a couple of prizes to the auction - £85 voucher for one place on a fused glass workshop taking place on 31 March 2012 and £35 voucher to be spent online at Lazy Daisy Glass.  The voucher to be spent on line could get you something like these -

It really is a fantastic cause and wish MFR all the best of luck with their auction.  I will be phoning them later to bid on an item too.

Haiti Charity Auction

A group of like minded jewellery designers and lampworkers have come together to raise money for charity. Each of us has donated beads or jewellery items (even some plushies have been donated) to be auctioned over at Kookie Designs. All proceeds will be going to the Haiti Disaster.

The auction starts at 10am on Monday 8 February.

Pop along and have a look at some of the great lots - there are 16 in total, many with two/three items in each lot. The mushroom focal beads (above) are made by the very talented Laura Sparling.

Breast Cancer Auction - Dichroic Glass Pendants

I have donated two of my dichroic glass pendants to Helen, who runs http://www.triagefromhome.com/. Helen is trying to raise as much money as possible for British Columbia Cancer Foundation and she is also competing in a walk for the charity later in the year. Helen has asked for people to donate their handmade products to her auction, hence my donation of the dichroic pendants. I saw her ask on Twitter a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be a worthy cause. If you would like to help towards her charity auction and would like to view my pendants, please have a look here: http://www.triagefromhome.com/?p=375

Helen, as well as being a Triage Nurse, is very talented in the craft world. She makes Juicy Bags:

They are bags made from recycled and sanitized juice pouches and recycled denim. They are very colourful and well made. You see more of her handmade bags on Etsy, where she has a shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6256441. Aren't they creative fun items?

A big thank you to Helen for running her online auction to help raise funds for the Cancer Foundation.
