CHARITY AUCTION THIS THURSDAY pics of the donated chairs

 

For those who dont know what Chairs for Charity is all about here is a brief explanation:

 

"Anyone" including bloggers, store owner, designs and the like who wanted to donate and be apart of the seasons festivities was invited to recreate a chair to be auctioned off with all proceeds going to the

 LANGLEY CHRISTMAS BUREAU.

 

 

The third annual Chairs for Charity is just days away now at The Passionate Home.

The silent auctioning actually starts Tuesday in store and runs until Thursday night.

Some of the chairs will be live auctioned and some are silent auctioned.

The live auction starts Thursday Night.

 

What is so special about this years chairs is the photo shoots each chair gets to partake in.

Steve Hayek Photography has taken each chair to a unique location to showcase them in a special way.

 

 

There is a total of 22 chairs donated this year. Here are 15 that STEVE photographed and

that you will be able to bid on locally here in Langley, British Columbia. Sorry to those
who dont live locally and have been asking if they can take part if the auction.

 

 

   

   

 

 

 

All chairs are currently on display at The Passionate Home. 12 of the chairs will be available through

 silent auction bids. Bidding on these chairs opens on Tuesday, October 22nd at 1:00pm and closes on

 Thursday, October 24th at 7:00pm. People are invited into The Passionate Home during store hours

on those days to see if the chair they want is available through silent auction and to place their bids.

 

    

   

 

And look at these two adorable kids chairs ...

 

 

Each chair typically has an open bid of $50. You will receive a tax receipt for any amount you pay
 over that $50. This is for charity so please be generous and invite friends and family to the event.

Lets start this holiday season off with a big bang!

 

HOW THE BIDDING WORKS:

All of the fabulous donated chairs are displayed throughout The Passionate Home

or visit the festivities this evening and stalk the chair you really want like I

might have done last year.

 

FOOD AND DRINK:

Starbucks will be on site serving beverages and I hope to see the same handsome young waiter

walking the floor with yummy treats as last year.

 

LIVE AUCTION:

4 chairs will go up for live auction at 7pm

I do not know which ones have been chosen for the live auction.

 

****************

 

Remember those who want a third entry into my Annie Sloan Workshop Giveway

**CORRECTION**

 

 

This magnificent BC Lions Chair with all the teams signatures

was done by our very own

Passionate Home Lady and ASCP teacher

Miss Elinor

the other day I gave Debbie of Vintage Encore credit for this one

SHAME ON ME!

Debbie is doing another sports team chair,

for the Canucks which I have not seen yet.
