Live Bidding Auction

Where: 12 Briarwood Lane, Suffern, NY 10901
When: Sunday, January 18th; Pre-Auction Viewing 7:00

Bidding Starts Promptly at 8:30

Ever been to a live auction?
With waving cards and hands in motion.
The thrill of an evening, feeling alive,
If she bids $20, I’ll bid $25!
How much do you want personal training sessions?
A coach bag, custom wig, or a new set of dishes?
What about an I-pod, jewelry, or fancy crib bedding,
Art, watches, or a photo session by Dini Groner?
There are too many prizes to list.
But we hope you get the gist.
Please join us for a fun, yet elegant night,
It will put giving Tzedakah in a whole new light.

* This Tzedakah is being collected for a family, where a young mother and wife has been struggling with an illness, your help is needed!!!

UPDATE: It was a snowy night and I had to push myself to go (you know what it's like to be cuddling with the kids at night putting them to bed, it puts me in the pillow mode). But I really wanted to show my support - and it turns out so did so many others.

There were so many wonderful items to bid on.

I bid for and won art work by Dan Weinstein, you can check out his work on www.danweinsteinsart.com. I've been admiring his work and it felt good to help others while helping myself.

Congrats to Toby B on winning the photo session! I know Toby will enjoy a full session, she has been a regular for my summer specials for a couple of years now. I can't wait to photograph you GORGEOUS kids!

Tova @ 10 days

I love walking into your house and using your props and furniture to make your image uniquely yours. I recommend that every new born baby have their photo taken before 2 weeks for that fresh, wrinkled look that last so short but should be remembered for eternity.

Drumroll please...

Anyone who has been to my studio has seen the serious drum set my husband has. It has been a source of bribery for many boys (and girls) to co-operate and then they will get to hit a few. Little Shmuel is adorable and friendly, but he got very tired, the only thing that calmed him down was the much smaller but just as fun bongos.
