The beautiful Julie Collings is ever-creative is she not? On her blog, she hosted a tiny-book swap a few weeks ago. And the rewards were huge. 26 ever-so-sweet little books by 26 different artists to be cherished, used as greeting cards, given to friends...so many ways you could use them.
Each little book on its own is adorable, but when you spread them all out before you, they are stunning!
So much detail, so much to look at. And if they weren't pretty enough on their own, Julie stitched up lovely holders for the books out of vintage wallpaper and crepe paper, tied with lace.
Julie has donated two sets of these precious little books to be auctioned here (so there will be two winners!) with 100% of the money going directly to the women of Haiti by Hand. Wow, am I excited about this!
The auction will begin now and will end at noon cst on Wednesday, March 17. The top two bidders will each receive one entire set of the books. To bid, please leave a comment on this post with your bid amount. Check the most recent bid to see current high bid.
Thank you, each of you, for your continued efforts in helping Haiti.
All I can say is Wow! I saw so many of those little books on blogs and wanted to participate, but alas I didn't! So now I have the opportunity, so I will begin the bid starting at $50.00!
