Pillow Cases & Spanish Market...
These approx. 33" X 33" pillowcases with handweaving /embroidery that look to me to be from Guatamala or thereabouts, are up for sale, with proceeds benefitting the Spanish Colonial Arts Museum in Santa Fe. Friday night I was attending their auction/fundraiser and put my name down on something I found of interest and ended up with these, which was not my bidding intent and they don't go with anything I have. Yes, it was crowded. But still, I must have thought the sign-up was for another object. So if you are interested, I'll ship them to you for a price that will go to the Spanish Colonial Arts Museum. ;) We'll all be happy then, right? Email to hapage at motherpie.com. I think they are beautiful; just not for me, now, but I'm happy to help out this great museum.
The works by Hispanic artists in Santa Fe are just incredible, available for purchase at the winter and summer Spanish Market. I was there at opening, voting on my favorite pieces, Saturday morning.
Beautiful pillowcases! Too bad the auction isn't online. Some of our local silent auctions are now starting online, then going offline for that night, with bids starting at what the top online bid was. It's a great way to get participation from people who can't attend, and to raise more money.
