YARD SALE SEASON chairs and welcome signs

 

 

Yard Sale season is here and so is my series to keep

you thinking about found treasures in a different way.

 

 

How many times have you seen a nice antique chair that just cant be saved but is begging to come

home with you and only has a $2.00 price tag. Heres the perfect solution that I know youll love.

CHAIRS FOR CHARITY 2014

 

This years annual Chairs for Charity is coming up soon.
This charity event is a fundraiser for our local Christmas
bureau where artists, bloggers, shop owners, and the like
use their skills to create something in the home décor
department that represents their passion and donates the
item to be auctioned off at a fun evening event right in
the down town of Langley.

 

This time around its chairs and more, meaning there will be all sorts of items being donated for the

auction. If you dont have space for a chair dont worry there are all sorts of great items to fall in love

 with and bid on, small and large. Another change is the location, the event has grown quickly over

 the last few years and its getting tight in The Passionate Home to see and enjoy all the items

available the night of the auction. Frostings cupcakery located at the west end of Langleys one way

 in the down town core is holding the event this year. They have more space and the parking around

 them is plentiful. Just image the pleasure on the senses with all those delicious cupcakes available at

 the event.

 

 

Ive been asked to help with the set up next Monday so cross your fingers

Ill get some photos posted afterwards for you to see.

RAISED OVER 3700 00 chairs for charity 2014

 

 

 

Chairs for Charity this year was another great success

with $3575 being raised at the evening event and an

additional $200 coming in later. This money will go

along way to buying toys for the many children the

Langley Christmas Bureau look after.

 

The most coveted chairs were the 2 gloss black & leopard print chairs each going to different people.

 My heart was racing during the live auction watching the crowd while the auctioneer goes back and

 forth with each bid. I wanted to jump in just to be apart of the action but my focus was on a silent
 auction item.

 

 

 

 

I was never captured in any of the event photos but I did take a head shot earlier in the day

 cause someone noticed my blog photo is getting old and I agree so it has been undated.

 

BEFORE             AFTER

 

  

 

Thank you to everyone who participated in this years Chairs for Charity,

especially my fellow craftsman & artists who donated their talents and skills.

 

 

 

See you all next year!
