B.I.G. ART AUCTION

to "Because I am a Girl" silent art auction taken place on Dec. 20, 2012. 

Helping the world one step at a time.

ART TITLE

 "Circles of Love"

By Cecilia Ho

Circle is an ancient and universal symbol of unity, wholeness, infinity, female 

power, and the sun. Circles of Love can strengthen our connection with

 ourselves, with each other, and with all around us through giving 

and receiving heartfelt love.

Because I Am a Girl is a social movement to change our world one step at a time; starting with girls.

Their objective is to empower girls so they can begin to bring change to our world and theirs.

Once girls feel empowered they are able to do anything.
Going to school for an extra year can increase a girl’s lifetime income by 15% in developing countries.

In most situations however, the boy is chosen to attend school for it is more financially possible.

Girls are not only the child bearers.

We are the teachers, the police officers, the technicians, the mailmen, the soccer coaches, the farmers.

We are everywhere.

Once that girl receives a chance, she can begin a whole new generation of empowered children.

SHOW TIME @ HORTON

I had an excellent & fun time 

meeting many who have & haven't heard of felting!

It's really my pleasure to introduce 

this ancient yet eco-friendly handicraft to them!

I'm especially thrilled to know 

several shoppers heard of my name or my products

even before meeting me in person!

I feel very blessed indeed!

I hope the winner of the silent auction will get to enjoy

felting his/her wool ornament very soon!

Did you see the sock monkey on the bottom right of the photo?

Yes! I did some DEMO throughout the day too!

"HELPING HELD" OWL

Thank you to a gracious winner of the bid who helped in the "Helping Herd" 

- an online benefit auction for Chris and Christine Silver of Earth Art Cashmere

It was my pleasure to help raising funds to help the Silvers though this challenge

***

On Thursday, March 22nd, 2012, a fire destroyed much of Chris and Christina Silver’s farm near River John, Nova Scotia, and killed more than 40 of their cashmere goats--about half of their herd. While the fire caused only minor damage to their home, it also cut off electrical service to the house, so they have had to relocate temporarily. While the Silvers had been working on upgrades to their 150-year-old barn and adjacent buildings, the structures did not yet meet current building code requirements. As a result, the Silvers were not insured for their loss. In addition to this hardship, Chris has been battling leukemia. You can read more about this tragedy here and here
