[Ansteorra-announce] Auction to Benefit the Ansteorran Gate Fund

[Maureen Faulkner]

Be it known to all good gentles:
The Canton of Westgate of the Barony of Stargate
will be holding a silent auction at Crown
Tourney, Nov. 2, to benefit the Ansteorran Gulf
War Gate fund.
We will be pleased to accept any and all
donations  for this auction. Used or new items in
good shape are sought. They do not have to be big
items suitable for prizes, though those are very
welcome.
Look in your SCA closet! Here's some ideas, but
donations are not limited to these items.

Jewelry
goblets, plates, period-looking utensils
Tablecloths
Candles/candlesticks
Feast gear chests
SCA clothing
Mundanity covers
baskets

Small! furniture items, like chairs or
lightweight smallish tables, whether they are SCA
suitable or can be covered with mundanity covers
to become SCA suitable

Period games (got a chess board you don't use?)
Craft items (Wool yarn, suitable ribbon,
findings, beads, glass pearls, semiprecious
beads, buttons)
Books
Pretty cloth or trim(I know all you costumers out
there have cloth you can't think of any use for
-- here's your chance to donate to a good cause.
[More yardage is better.])

Finished A&S projects: Blackworked kerchiefs,
beaded jewelry, finished costumes, hats, etc.

Here's another idea:
Services. A musician could donate a promise to
serenade a lady; a person gifted in sewing could
create a banner to order; a sketch artist could
promise a sketch; a talented coiffeur could
donate a promise to do beautiful braids or other
hairstyles for a special event, etc.
What can you do well that you could donate as a
service?

Please contact me, Maureen Faulkner, with
donations. Depending on the size of the item, you
could get it to me before the event or bring it
to the event. For those donating services, I will
try to make up a suitable sign to put on the
auction table.

Donate items or services! Spend money at the
auction! The gate will be something we can all be
proud of.
