Mark you calendars...

Are you ready to start bidding yet? Me too. But hold your horses, you eager beavers. We’ve got a few weeks left (the bidding will take place Wednesday, November 16), which is great. You know why? It’ll give me time to collect more items to be auctioned.

I’d like to have at least 30 items on the table and have a long way to go SO I thought I’d offer up a little incentive to all you bakers out there…

The baker who brings in the highest bid will walk away with a nice little prize*. Check it…

Why am I offering up a prize to the bakers? Well, it’s my little way of saying thank you for donating your time, energy and baking skills. It’s also a way to drive more funds to the cause as the bakers engage in a little friendly competition by encouraging their friends, family and coworkers to bid higher on their items.

If you’d like to donate a baked good to the sale, please email sweettaterblog@gmail.com with:

• Item to be auctioned (does not have to be a baked good)
• Shipping restrictions (US only, UK only, etc.)
• Dietary restrictions (gluten-free, vegan, raw, etc.)
• Photo of the item
• I am baking to end domestic violence because: ___________
• Link to your blog (if you have one)

Just want to bid? Come back here on Wednesday, November 16. No idea how an online bake sale works? See here.
