From 14 to 27 September 2007, my friend Charlotte will be undertaking an arduous sponsored trek in Peru to raise money for the Rainbow Trust Children's Charity and in memory of her dearest friend, Georgie, who passed away last year. I am holding these auctions to help Charlotte reach her target of £8,000 before she sets off – and every penny of the auction total will go to the charity as Charlotte has already covered the cost of the trek herself. For more details, visit Charlotte's blog at http://sendingtheprincessofpurpletoperu.blogspot.com/

Auction 2 - Hipknits Pure Silk Aran


This auction has been very generously donated by Kerrie at Hipknits - thank you so much Smile



Up for auction we have 400g of Hipknits Pure Silk Aran in the most stunning shade of bluey/green. The yarn is a beautiful two tone shade and shimmers like the ocean. It really is truly stunning, luxurious yarn. There is enough here to make many projects, including a Clapotis.

*******************************

The auction will finish on Sunday 9 September at 7.30pm. Payment is by the Justgiving website only (secure online payment but if you have a problem, please pm me) and must be made by Tuesday 11 September at 7.30pm The auction includes postage so please bear this in mind when bidding.

I think the reason that people cant see the pics is because we are having problems with our local service provider (Kingston, only available in our area) and the photos are saved on MrP's site which is on the Kingston server. This is why one minute you can see them and the next you cant, as the site is playing up intermittently.

I have loaded the pics on to flickr for people to view and hope this helps:

Sorry about this but it is something out of my control, and thank you to the people who have placed bids unseen Smile

Current Bid: £10 with Murdo
