Since the Yard Sale with Ms. Bubble and fellow bloggers came about I was brainstorming about my unique selling point. Somthing to entice the punters, as they'd say in the homeland. I figured I'd have a competition. Then, I remembered the tension and suspence of a raffle. The sheer emotion and sense "zomg will my yellow strip of tickets.. ah s*** it's a white strip".
So, I decided I would have a raffle.
Cue emailing the supersweet ladies from Supersweet. They have kindly donated an amazing Alexandre Herchcovitch Angle-Work Top (worth 105 pounds!!!).
"Comfortable and clever, it’s a double-layered top with rough-pleated hemline in sheer and georgette silk. A-symmetrical demi-sleeves and one-sided pocket for pocketing important little pieces. This is impact dressing with a twist!"
Translation.. it's pretty and twisty.
Then, I thought a raffle isn't a raffle without a nice cause behind it. I am the first to admit I am sentimental shmuck and my heart breaks a bit when I read about the lack of aid going to Pakistan. It also cracks when my best friend tells me stories about an orphanage in Moldova she volunteers in every summer.
So, like the team in Captain Planet, by the power of Bloggers combined, I figured we could make a bit of money for some good causes. In a long winded manner, there will be a charity raffle going on at the Bloggers Yard Sale this Sunday the 22nd of August.
Tickets will be no more than a quid. There is an AMAZING prize from Supersweet. It will make you feel good about yourself. I will split the money 75/25, as Pakistan is something that is huge and needs our help. My friend's work is something that is close to my heart and I'm sure you wouldn't begrudge her 25p from a pound.
A HUGE THANKS TO SUPERSWEET AND SUSIE FOR ALLOWING ME TO DO THIS.
PLEASE ENTER THIS RAFFLE IF YOU COME SUNDAY.
peace, Fi xx

Wow I'm so pleased! Hopefully you will make loads for Pakistan and my girlies. I know its really hard to decide which charities to support because there are so many worthwhile organisations and people in need, so thank you for supporting Outreach Moldova (www.outreachmoldova.org).
I'm jealous of whoever wins that top!
