Auctioning a promise

Says Alice is based in a suburb of Norwich, which is fortunate to have a great local school. They do wonderful community things throughout the year that Says Alice (and Mr Says Alice) have been known to take part in.

The best for us has been the Garage Sale, in which the good people of Cringleford set up tables on their lawns and the school sells a map of which houses are taking part. This has proved an excellent source of the most random items, including hula-hoops, brass coal scuttles and fuzzy felt, with particularly good bargains from the big houses at the end of the road!
It is also an annual battle to avoid coming home with even more sewing machines: £5 for a Bernina? It would be rude to leave it...

Says Alice, as a result, is very pleased to offer a little something to the latest fundraising effort:
an Auction of Promises.

I have said I'll be very happy to make something that might look a bit like this...


...plus something a bit like this...


Let's hope someone bids!

There are lots of lovely things that have already been pledged and you can leave written bids. Have a look here:
