Our library is having a silent auction. There were about a dozen baskets of goodies to be auctioned off. This first one is for bird lovers. Its lots of bird books, some feed and a bird house all in a wire basket.
This second basket is a nice one for the cook. It's cookbooks, pot holders, scissors, measuring cups and spoons.
This was a sweet handmade basket , with kitchen towels and handmade ornaments.
Tipton Blue Devils will love this basket. T-shirts, gum, cups, and dishes.
One for a lover of the Indianapolis Colts. Picture of the team, cap, cups, napkins, and a bag of chips.
The kids would love this. The tags says , You are one in a Minion. LOL A basket full of minion dolls, a throw and I am not sure if that a movie or book. The cellophane made it difficult to get clear pictures.
I am going back to the library today, I may bid on one of these. It would be fun to win and give to someone. I would probably keep the bird things. LOL. But then again Ted and I bought 80 pounds of birdseed yesterday.
We ate lunch at Bob Evans yesterday and brought home some of their baked breads. Ted loves banana bread and I like the pumpkin. Two loafs for 8 dollars. We used to eat there about 3 times a week when we worked. Now we go maybe 3 times a year. It's good food, but pass on the coffee.
We are having wind and rain. Hope all of you have a good day. XO
The bird and cook baskets both look good. Haven't eaten at a Bob Evans in years, not even sure we have them down here.
ReplyDeleteJanet, I thought the basket with the ornaments were all baked clay..I am thinking I'd love that basket. You know Bob Evans is serving hot chicken pot pies now. LOL. so good. My husband always says it so hot it'll burn your gizzard out. :):) That used to make my mom laugh. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat a great idea! Do patrons of the library contribute the baskets, or businesses in the community? This is a good fundraiser idea. I hope you win one, Susie!
ReplyDeleteYes, Dewena, these are made up from businesses and the money goes to the library. This would be an awesome way to raise money for any occasion. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Deletep.s. hope you got my reply about the deleted comment.
Our wind and rain is now gone and we will have several days of cool temps and sunshine!!! It is FINALLY feeling like FALL and I am keeping the den fireplace burning all day! Even though I do have the French doors open!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I have been out twice to set the trash container upright...I told ted not to put it out and I am thinking of bringing it in the shop...as we can go two weeks . That's how badly the wind is blowing. I hope it slows down soon. We had a fire in the fireplace yesterday also. Blessings for a good day there. love you, Susie
DeleteThat is a great idea for the library to have a silent auction. At the first library I worked at we used to have baskets that we raffled off. It was something like 50 cents a ticket or three for $1. We raised a lot of money that way. I enlarged the pictures so I could see them better. They are all cute baskets.
ReplyDeleteKathy, This auction is to raise funds for the library...probably have to pay for that whacked out new walk...remember the bricks..I will post about that soon. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThe baskets are such a cute idea. Anyone would enjoy receiving one as a gift. Have a good day sweet friend. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane, I think this is a good idea for making money for any charity. or cause. Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteA grands school had this last Christmas and it was so fun to go around and bid on things. We got some amazing gifts.....
ReplyDeleteBJ, the more I think of this idea, the more I love it. Can you imagine all the different ideas people could have making these baskets. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh! I wish I were there! I'd be bidding, that's or sure! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteNellie, I am mad at myself for not writing down a bid on each...what did I have to lose? Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat a great idea. The wind and rain just arrived here. Glad I am now in for the rest of the day. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, I am so sorry I can't leave comments on your blog...for some reason when I try the comment box disappears. I love this money raising idea. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie, Your weather sounds like ours. These baskets are cute as can be. Hope you win one! Have a good night. xo
ReplyDeleteMildred, I didn't get into town today...maybe Friday. It rained and the wind blew all day long. Right at 5 o'clock the sun came out and the skies cleared ...just in time for the sunset. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat a fun idea for the library! Our library has a pie sale next week!
ReplyDeleteVee, I think the businesses around town helped with making the baskets and the profits go to the library. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThose are always fun. I have won a few silent auctions over the years and it is always a treat to open the package and see what all is actually in there.
ReplyDeleteI sure wish we had a Bob Evans around here. I don't think there are any in our state at all. xo Diana
Diana, I wish I had signed up on a few of those while I was taking pictures..I wanted to get into town today...but it was way too nasty. It did not get nice till sunset. I was so happy to see the sun, I stayed on the porch till it was gone. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie! Oh, what fun baskets. A little something for everyone! Thanks for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi Shelia, Yes, I thought that also. Baskets for kids, for sports fans or teens and certainly for mom. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteGood luck on the auction. That's something I've never witnessed .
ReplyDeleteWe've got our favorite bakery and restaurant. We eat there every couple of weeks.
Boston Boy, This auction is silent...you just write down what you'd give and others will try to offer more. It would be fun to have these more often. Hope you Arlene get to enjoy your times out there where you live. I know you have a favorite place on the island. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh, I have a friend, in her 60's, who would love that Minion basket!! What a fun thing to do at the library!
ReplyDeleteAnnMarie, That's funny. I have never seen that little movie...may have too. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThose baskets are such good ideas to raise money. I want the bird one!
ReplyDeleteKathy, I liked all the books in the bird basket.There were some binoculars too. I will look tomorrow. Be safe on your trip. I love you, mommy
