On March 9th, 2012 I had a Silent Auction for Slovenia. My mom was in town and so she helped create some yummy treats to serve at the event such as veggie squares and of course, stuffed mushrooms. Stuffed Mushrooms have been in attendance at every one of my events for Slovenia. It was become tradition! I always think of Fiddler on the Roof when I think of the word “tradition”. Basically I can relate anything to a song! Anyway…to prepare for the event I created some print based designs and some acrylic on canvas paintings as well as a very unique acrylic on wood with bottle caps. It was a blast putting all of these pieces together. Also, since the event was shortly after valentines day and as Slovenia quite conveniently has the word “love” in its name, we were able to adorn the house with Valentines Day Decor. Thanks Slovenia for having such a great name! Many friends came out to the event and bid on the various items. There was a Dinner with the Gardner Girls, a wine basket that my mom put together, some hair items that a friend was kind enough to donate, 3 half hour photo sessions from my near friend and amazing photographer, Amanda (these were won by my two engaged friends in attendance. A great price for engagement photos!), as well as some baked goods. All in all the night was a great success! Total, $700 was raised and it will all go towards Slovenia and Josiah Venture. Thank you to all who came! Here’s to LOVE for the beautiful country of sLOVEnia! : )
