[Northkeep] Shameless Plug: fundraiser auction... (very crossposted)

[zubeydah at northkeep.org]

first, apologies to those on multiple lists, who receive this several times.

My brother, Nathaniel McPhereson, and his household of McKillinKay are hosts of 
a party being held on Thursday, 02/14/08 at the War event going on in Arizona 
that week... (It's apparently against their Kingdom policy to name the event, 
or the Kingdom sponsoring the event, because alcohol is being served and may be 
purchased with the proceeds of this fundraising). 

To support my brother and his household in their fundraising efforts for this 
event, I recently created two necklaces of amber, each with a theme: One 
is "Dawn" and one is "Dusk". 

"Dawn" is made of butterscotch and golden honey amber. It is strung on 100% 
silk beading cord, and is approximately 24" long. There is a large central 
pendant of clear, honey amber. The necklace was hand-knotted its entire length 
for strength. It was designed to be reminiscent of the shifting colors of the 
rising sun. The necklace has been strung so that the colors gradually fade from 
a bright golden central pendant to a pale, almost white butterscotch at the 
clasp. 

"Dusk" is made of a dark cognac and dark honey amber. It is strung on 100% silk 
braided beading cord, and is approximately 24" long. The necklace was hand-
knotted its entire length for strength. It was designed to be reminiscent of 
the shifting colors of the setting sun. It has a variety of pendants along its 
length, moving from smallest to the largest in the center, which is over 1 
1/2". 

They have just been posted for sale on EBAY, on a three day listing.

Dusk: Item number: 200198017808 
Dawn: Item number: 200198020212 

100% of the proceeds will go to pay for the event; my time and materials are 
donated. The items are currently in Aurora, Colorado -- if the winner of the 
auction is attending the aforementioned war in Arizona, they can be delivered 
there, or sent via USPS.

Remember - Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Either of these would be 
the perfect gift for your Valentine.  Both peices are suitable for either 
gender.

Please feel free to pass the word along to anyone you know who might enjoy 
owning these pieces. (I would love to get word sent along to other Kingdom 
lists - I believe it's been sent to Outlands, Caid, and Atenvelt)

(These items are not tax deductable.  This fundraising is strictly private and 
to be used for the purpose of acquiring adult beverages for the party. SCA 
funds cannot be used for this purpose.)

In service, 

- Zubeydah Jamilla al-Badawiyyah
