Clothing Drive/Gift for the Grove/Yule Raffle!

[books]

  Hey I have 4 more bags for the clothes drive. (I've been asking around.)
Also a large pile of stuff that might be good for the raffle or if someone needs a quick gift.  If anyone comes and helps me they can get 1st dibs!!! (Shameless begging for help!)

Well, I ordered an eco-dent toothbrush from mothernature.com, but apparently the order was for 6 of them really cheap.

So I gave one to my dad, will be giving two to my boyfriend for him and his daughter, might give one to my sister, and I think the last one I might add to a bath and body bundle for the small raffle.

I figure if Anna makes soap, I donate body wash and this toothbrush, and maybe we'll have one other thing, it'd be a nice bath bundle for the raffle.

Maybe

I have some small glass jars for bath salts or oils if you want them.

I took a gander at some of the clothes for the drive.  We have some amazing scarves!  6 of them to be exact.  A pair of hand-knit gloves, and it looks like Liz's 4 bags of clothes.

I'll be bringing down a few pieces on Sunday of some pre-teen stuff of my sisters.  Don't forget that Sunday is the last day as Kat is going to be hauling it away to it's destination.

We don't have that many raffle items yet either, so don't forget to see if there's anything you want to bring by the 29th to raffle off to support the Grove.  Some of those scarves might be good temptation to buy tickets *hint hint*.

Liz gave me a few goodies for the raffle.  I've also got a few things I'll bring by.

If it is alright I'll drop some stuff off tomorrow.

I found something in a store today that I am going back to get tomorrow.  I'm going to make it the midnight giveaway for the raffle. 

It even fits in with our holiday and ritual thematics!  And boy did I laugh when I found it . . .

Cold weather ritual gear / ponchos /robes (take your pick)  made from ploartec fleece.

I have 3 made so far, I will try to get some of the household to model for posting on the web but attached are my preliminary shots. 

I will also be raffleing (sp?) my previous winter cape.  I meant to get it into the cleaners this week but it just didnt happen. 

The ritual robes will be black, white, brick red and forest green.  The green one will be a little longer.

Well OK some of the pictures came out better than others.

The robes have an attached scarf that when worn down would look alot like clergy vestiments.  They will have two slits in the front that a belt can be pulled through.

Below is the cape I will be offering.  Other shots of it can be seen at

Which was Imbolc 2005 in the Gallery.  It's probably the last time I wore it.

Note, if we want, we can start selling raffle tickets this weekend.

Wow they look awesome Caryn

I think I have some candle holders I'll be bringing down for the raffle as well.  I think I have a plastic bin with a lid for keeping tickets in that I"ll get out at the Grove.

If you want to stick something on the front page feel free.  These are all part of my offering to Frigga.  She is all about domestic stuff but especially weaving and the making of clothing.

If we wanted to say what kind of value these have.  The cape new would go for at least $150 to $200 but considering its used.... hard to say

The ritual garb would go for about $60 each and that is what comparable things on the web cost.

[Pagandenma]

Do we have a roll of tickets for the raffle?  Or should I go looking for some?

[carynml]

There was one, I will look tomorrow.

[Crystal]

Yeah there is, I have it saved in the library.
