It's so lovely to be making products that are good enough to be considered - and requested - for inclusion in charitable auctions. And to be approached! That's what makes it even more wonderful. I figure, the aimof the organisers is to raise as much $pondula as possible when auctioning off an item... so they're only going to choose quality products that they feel will generate the most interest and money for the cause. So in realising this... I am very honoured to have been invited and included! And what a great opportunity for me at the same time. Lots of positive exposure for koo-ki-nuts :)
The auction will run from 18 March - 25 March 2012 and it will be hosted through Facebook. The auction will be publicised widely, including a feature editorial coming up in the Autumn issue of My Child magazine, and through other major sponsors such as My Child, Bubhub, Style Collective and KID independent.
100% of the profits raised from the auction will be going towards providing urgent nutrition to 160 children at the Bonga Feeding Centre in Ethiopia (via World Families Australia). Everything is donated! From web design and graphic art to the goodies up for auction.
I even have my own little koo-ki-nuts sponsor profile! All the sponsors have a profile, and it's great to see so many people involved! There's just so much talent out there in the handmade community. Check out the Cuddle Craft Collective website for yourself to see how professional crafting really can be!
And, what did I donate??? Well, since {KID} Independent had previously featured my little spotted bunn-ee (who has since been adopted) in their Gifty Goodness... Tantalising TOYS! post around Christmas, I thought it was only fitting that I donated another bunn-ee. (Indi has declared her love for them after all!)
