Today's fantastic blog auction piece is this large pillow cover pictured below. The piece is 19" x 19." I'm hoping someone will take a stab at identifying the birds pictured in the embroidery and leave their response in the comments as well. Take a look at this link on birdlife in South Africa. Here's a map showing Hamburg, a link to birding tours on the Eastern Cape, and a good resource for birding in SA. Here's an extensive list of birds of South Africa on Wikipedia.
Here is the standard bit on how to bid:
You look at the cushion cover and fall madly in love with it. You go to the comments section directly below this post (dated May 5, 2009) and place your bid. The minimum bid is $30.00 (CDN) for this piece. The bidding will close at 9pm Mountain Time, today, May 5, 2009.
To log into the comments you need a gmail account, or you can log in as 'anonymous.' Be sure and leave your name and check back at 9pm (or earlier) to see if you've 'won' the bidding. Afterwards, the successful bidder and I will make arrangements for shipping, payment etc. The entire amount that is bid on the bag will go to Keiskamma Canada. Not only will you be getting a very cool decorative cushion cover (cushion not included), but you can feel great about donating to an excellent cause. Happy bidding!
