25 November 2008

So it's been awhile since my last entry here - it's been busy times.

We discovered a portal in our back room. No, no...not *that* kind of portal (it'd be cool to access other dimensions but sadly this portal is of a much more mundane variety). Apparently there used to be double door between our back room and next door. We are considering reopening it. Should be interesting times.

Other news...the Open House is still a "go". And we are still planning to paint Dec 2 to 4th. Thank you everyone who has volunteered to help out. We *will* be in touch...

A new thing we are going to be doing at this year's open house is to have a live auction. I will attempt to be auctioneer (I will have to practice projecting my voice because I know I have a voice that carries like the whine of a mosquito on a warm night).

Things up for bid so far:
- a framed relic of Where Faeries Live (part of the old sign that was taken down)
- possibly the mural from the archway, provided we can remove it intact
- some crystal generators with some slight shop-wear
- a small box of crystal wands that had a little accident last year when a 2 pound garnet sphere took the plunge off the top shelf of the crystal cabinet and landed on them. Now there's twice as many wands - they're just smaller.
- a semiprecious stone and silver necklace handmade by Ed
- one of the first scrying mirrors into production by Where Faeries L ive (yes, we will be making them here now!)
- a gift basket of incense
- a package of our new "Yule" loose incense, only made here
- some Where Faeries Live bath salts

There will be other things, as I think of them. I will have them out for display at Fireside this coming Friday.

Proceeds from the auction will go to help us pay for renovations of WFL part II.
