Sandwich Montessori Auction

Saturday night we had an auction to support SMEAF, the group which provides financial assistance and enrichment opportunities at school.  I was a part of the auction committee and had a great time helping with the auction, even though it was a ton of work!  Since I had my Seacoast seminar in New Hampshire on Friday and Saturday, I came straight to the auction.  
We raised over $7000 and everyone who attended had a wonderful time.

This is the quilt made by all the students and teachers of Carriage House.  Everyone drew their self portrait and then added texture with embroidery.  Braeden's square is furthest right, third from the top.  He is wearing a blue shirt and has various symbols swimming around his head.
This is one of the class baskets--the money tree.  I just love how cute it turned out!  Parents in the class donated scratch tickets and a parent donated a ficus tree for us to hang the tickets on.  The winner got to take it all home (she was very excited).
Liz, auctioneer, art teacher, Mom, and friend extraordinaire.  These beautiful pieces of heart and flower art work are by the children of Friend's House and Children's House (Teagan painted and punched out one of the flowers).
Bidding on some of the wonderful items in the silent auction.
Let the auction begin!  Liz had us laughing and bidding.
