All dressed up! Roger had to stay home with Edwin, so I’m off on my own.

I made the handbag, gorgeous, huh?!

Here’s my chair!

Quite a lot of clever art chairs!

This table set had been made into a marble maze. It attracted all the kids!

Fantastic band!

More art chairs up for auction!

The room was completely packed later, so I’m guessing it was a great fund raiser of the Atlanta Furniture Bank. However, I didn’t want to take a flash photo later, so here’s how it looked before the party really got started!

A great night and I hope they raised a ton of money!

Update:

They raised $45,000, $5,000 more than last year! Hooray!

And here’s one touching story:

In one portion of the program, two former Furniture Bank clients came up to the podium to give testimonials about how the Furniture Bank helped them during their time of need.  Shortly afterwards, the Live auction began.  One of the items up for sale was a combo package of AirTran tickets and Disney World passes.

After being the highest bidder, the gentleman who bought this AirTran/Disney package promptly turned around and gave it to one of the clients who had just given her testimony!  Her little boy was there, and he was so excited!!

Made me cry. How about you?
