A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed

Felix Schlesinger's "A Friend In Need" 1867

Our sweet friends Peggy and Robyn are putting together an auction to help a blogger friend of theirs. Peggy will be hosting the auction at her Hidden Haven Homestead. Go here to read more. I believe she will start hosting it next week. If you are able, donate; if not, see if there is something there you like. I can't wait to see all the goodies people will be donating. And you know I will be doing some bidding!

I went to work today on my donation. I made a small trio of nesting boxes. I have "themed" them Faith, Hope, Optimism and Joy.





I'm also going to donate a "custom" cigar box. I just couldn't decide how to decorate it and so I will leave it up to the "winner" to decide. I can do a theme of Christmas, Children, Angels, Spring, Flowers, Religious or Easter. It will be fun to make one (or more) "to order." (This is the first one I made for myself.)

I hope the auction helps. Oh, and you don't have to be a blogger to donate or bid! So, let's have fun for a good cause.

but small ones surround us every day."

    The Painting "A Friend in Need" you have showing here on the site. I actually have the oil painting from Felix Scheslinger. I am having it appraised this weekend, cleaned and insured. Was wondering if there was any interest in it.
