Another thread listing auction prizes, giving DG'ers a chance to bid even if they can't make the Boogie. Because the main event is obviously the auction on the night of the 10th I can't conduct this as an internet auction, the highest bid from here needs to remain a secret. So - if you would like to bid please pm me the item, your highest bid, your "real" name, address, and contact number for Sunday 11th March. I will treat these as "sealed bids" and take the highest for each item with me. Then a fellow-DG'er will bid their heart out to try to win for you. (If you are not a member of this DG please email your bid to silversandclinicsAThotmail.com).
If you have any questions or comments it might be best to pm them to me, because if this thread gets really long (as they do...) people will find it hard to work out what is going on. I can add anything that is relevant.
Here are the prizes:
1) Box of Essential Oils
A lovely sturdy little wooden box with brass effect catch, decoration and inlaid flower on the lid. Contains 6 Ancient Wisdom essential oils; Lavender, Peppermint, Niaouli, Ginger, Rose and Frankincense. This would make a lovely gift for some lucky person.
2) Made-to-measure bridle
A lovely hand stitched English leather bridle, in any size, in either black or dark havanna leather, made to order for you in about 2 days.
3) Wedding/Party invitations
50 hand-made cards made to your personal specification, normal price £150.
4) Kaftan -
www.louisesandberg.com is an online boutique dedicated to bringing unique beach and holiday-wear labels and accessories from St Barths, St Tropez and Ibiza, as well as Italy and Vietnam to the UK. They provide something unique yet easy-to-wear during the day but also pretty enough to wear straight to lunch or dinner (whether abroad or during balmy English Summer evenings).
The kaftan available for the auction is from the label Donale - from St Barths, St Tropez and Ibiza, as worn by Madonna, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sienna Miller and Jodie Kidd. With a huge global following this international label can also be found in Scoop NYC, Calypso Miami and LA and is sold exclusively in the UK by Louise Sandberg.
