As you may know, the Barony had to spend a large amount of cash on a new trailer for storing Pennsic stuff this summer. We got $300 in donations at the Baronial Reception at Pennsic, which is awesome, but that's only 10% of the cost, so...
I am organizing a *silent auction* at Agincourt, and looking for your donations!
We need people willing to donate their time and/or skills to make custom items or offer services for bid. The site is small and it's a royal progress, so it will be crowded, meaning we can't have a display table. Instead we'll have sign-up sheets on a wall, and the winners will get the contact information of the donator so you and they can work out the details. If the item is pre-made, it can stay in your vehicle until the end of the event when it can be delivered to the winner.
So what can YOU donate? Here are some ideas:
- custom item of garb; the winner could pay for the fabric
- hand-woven trim
- a set of arrows fletched in the recipient's colors; again, you can ask the recipient to cover the cost of supplies
- a custom tooled leather item (quiver, bracers, armguard, etc.)
- a gourmet meal for however many people you are willing to cook for; the winner could pay for the ingredients
- beadwork or embroidery to be added to an existing piece of garb
- some number of hours of housecleaning, petsitting, car repairs, etc.
Items already being donated:
- custom etched glass goblets by Lady Katheryn and Lord Yoshi
- a wooden box by Master Ishiyama
- custom kumihimo cords by Master Ishiyama
- a custom heraldic banner by me
Please email me <b><i>off list</i></b> if you are willing to donate an item or service. I'd love to hear from at least six people by this weekend, since Agincourt is only 2 weeks away!</span> <br><br>Thanks for your generosity!<br><br>Arianna</div>
