**AUCTION CLOSED**
Like many of you, I have been wondering how I could help Japan at this time. While I don't have a lot to give financially, I do have three, never used, handmade baby blankets that I made months ago with no particular person in mind. They've just been sitting in my closet going nowhere. It dawned on me a couple days ago that it was time to do something with them, and, at the same time, help the people of Japan.
Each blanket will go to the highest bidder. Bidding starts at $25 per blanket.
As my way to say thank you, shipping costs will be covered by me.
I wasn't sure what I would do with the money once I got it. That question was answered when I saw this post over at the blog Tea Rose Home. The author of that blog, Sachiko, is from one of the prefectures badly effected by the earthquake, and ensuing tsunami. While she no longer lives there, she has family and friends still there. She has set up a way to donate on her blog, and that is where I will donate ALL the proceeds I collect from the blanket auction. You can read about it here.
Below are pictures of each blanket and their dimensions. If you would like to place a bid on one or more of the blankets, please leave a comment specifying which blanket - #1, #2, or #3 and your bid. Remember, bidding starts at $25/blanket.
**If you want to bid anonymously, please email me at heatherlarson88@gmail.com**
AUCTION ENDS MARCH 31st.
