Ok friends, we know you and we know you love art. Comment in the comments, starting... Now! (December 13th at 4:10 pm)
Kim got run over by an ice cream truck and all I got was to attend this lousy fund raiser.

In her biography, designer Wanda Cobar (above photo from her site, liquidcouture.com) sites the six months she spent recovering from knee surgery as a time that sparked her creativity. She will be donating a dress for silent auction.
This is the sauna at Ray's Bucktown B&B. Ray has donated a weekday night stay for the silent auction. Bid Bid Bid and you may spend a calm night away from home, or have somewhere for out-of-town visitors to stay. Either way, quite relaxing. Thanks Ray.

Here's a late entry for the silent auction:
"Nurture", a porcelain puzzle sculpture by Matt Schultz. It's illustrated here:

It's really beautiful, composed of several pieces of white porcelain which fit together like a puzzle (note: marble base shown in photo not included.)
I'll keep the auction open for one week, unless someone gripes that that's too short, and then I'll reconsider.
I'll start the bidding at $50.
Yes, that's kind of high for an opening bid on a silent auction, but I want this piece, so you'll have to pay up if you want it.
