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.

Band saw back online and snow is due this week!

Hi Everyone,
Well, the new blade is back on the bandsaw and weve cleaned and lubricated all the moving parts and that critter is good to go so I cut up a whole pile of lumber that was beginning to stack up.
Ive got several tea boxes in the works right now-all of them are laminated blocks of different types of scrap lumber. They are all about 3 inches deep and six inches in diameter although I may cut them down just a little from those dimensions. All are out of wood that have been kiln dried and the scent in all of them is mostly absent and thats important for a closed container.
Ive brought them all inside to dry as its getting too cold for glue to dry now.
Im going to work on one of them early tomorrow morning and Ill post photos afterwards.
Its supposed to snow this Wednesday!
