Today I am posting about Stephanie and Christian who were in a terrible plane crash in Arizona nearly two weeks ago. Many bloggers are having auctions to raise funds for their treatment. See a full listing of silent auctions running on blogs everywhere today at www.designmom.com

I will be doing my auctions differently than the rest of the bloggers. I will be listing the six items pictured in this post on eBay, 20% of the total sale price will go to Stephanie and Christian. I realize that this might make the bidding stiffer but it will also bring a whole new community of people into the bids--the more bids, the more money raised for C&S treatment! The winner of each auction will pay for the item and shipping to me as per the usual eBay way. I will then forward 20% of the proceeds (if something sells for $10, I will give $1, if it sells for $100, I will give $10, etc.) to the fund for S&C. If you are concerned about my honesty, please see my eBay feedback (it's the number after my eBay user name "dunhavenplace") at

If you click on it and it says 0 auctions--that's because they aren't running yet--they will be up later this afternoon or evening. See pics below of items. The pic above is of a medium sized framed print of peach roses by Sonie Ames, a famous Utah china painter.
This is an oversized book print from East of the Sun and West of the Moon. The illustration is by Kay Nielsen copyright 1913 but I don't know what edition this actual print is from. It came to me already frame. I know the edges look bowed but that is because of my faulty camera.
This is a full set, first edition, of Winston Churchills series on World War II. Neat. I have never seen my husband read so fast as he did these.
