We’ll see…

Trying something a little different tomorrow. In addition to a necklace and earring set, I’m donating two enlargements of my photos — possibly including the above image — to a silent auction to benefit the Episcopal City Mission. I don’t know why this makes me a little nervous. I always worry a little about my jewelry at these things — did I donate something that will raise enough money to do some good? What if it sells for less than its estimated value? Wouldn’t that be awful? But the photos are a whole different ballgame. It feels a little riskier. What if no one likes them? What if they don’t sell at all? Rejection would seem more personal somehow. But it’s all for a good cause. I just hope that everything sells for the estimated value. That would make me happy.

On an unrelated note, I was able to make a peach/rasberry pie with my farmer’s market purchases. One word: tart!!

    Your photography and your jewelry is so beautiful that I don't know how it couldn't sell for a HUGE amount of money but I hope it all goes well!

  2. Aw, thanks so much, Amy! That makes me feel a lot better. 🙂 I'd hate to think that I could've made a bigger difference for the organization by just writing a check. It makes it worthwhile when I donate something that brings in more money than I could afford to give them outright.
