[Dailydrool] Thinking about the Holiday fair for the little rescues

[Valerie]

aloha. It's October. I'm thinking about the Holiday Fair  for the little Basset rescues in November.

Here's how it can work. Each of us makes or dusts off a Basset object. then we do one of two things--list it on Houndsbay with a designated rescue to benefit (and send it ourselves to the bidder who wins.). Or designate the rescue to benefit as the one of the high bidder's choice).

Or, we send the item to one of the little rescues, and then that rescue lists the item on Houndsbay (or woofles it) and handles shipping. I am a computer moron, so I have already sent one item off to Pam Farris of Florida Basset Rescue, and one to Chris Bly of WMBRI.

A clue: Pam will have a dog bed (or baby crib) size all cotton washable quilt made like a scrabble board with some of the squares featuring Basset depictions from at least 5 different fabrics I've collected. Your hound will surely want it. It's very cute. Chris will have an Easter Basset bunny medley, that is sure to make you laugh, I still need to refurbish a terrific Basset birdhouse ( who'd like this one?) thank you! Doug Dropped for sending me some more Basset fabrics to work with. I may have time to do another dog bed quilt.

so put on your thinking caps. these will make terrific holiday presents for you're Basset loving friends. I'm going to suggest my relatives shop here (and hope I don't get back something I contributed in the first place, but even that would be fun)

these days I've been having a hard time posting to the drool because we are all so worried about the ailing and ATB loved ones. but this holiday fair idea cheers me up as I think of helping out some of our other loved ones too. Semper fido, Val, Bo (ha ha, I'm still keeping her up all night--she'll never triumph over me) and Harley (my play date with the new Basset in town is this afternoon. I am in love already).
