A preview of all thirteen totes and three individual artworks for ToteTuesday #2 will be up tomorrow on my website.  Stop by here on my blog for the link. The url for the preview and the auction will be the same.  So once you bookmark the preview webpage tomorrow, you will be good to go for the auction on Tuesday.

This is typical of the sponsor/donor generosity.  Larkin Van Horn has added this incredible beaded button to her tote and refused to raise the opening bid!

Everything will appear on the preview webpage exactly as it will for the auction except the Opening Bid, etc. will not be filled in.  It’s not that that is a big secret; it’s merely to avoid a premature bidding war. The opening bids will be posted at 10:50 a.m. CST with the auction opening at 11 a.m. CST and closing at 2 p.m. CST.  (Ready to bid on Tuesday?  Here is a checklist.)

Karla Overland of Cherrywood Fabrics has created this “Good To The Last Drop” tote. You don’t have to wait for the Preview tomorrow to find out the story behind the title of this gorgeous tote bag – check out Karla’s blog.

The totes this week have opening bids ranging from $49 – $199. Please remember that these totes contain unique artworks, custom-made totes, hand-dyed fabrics, items from artist’s personal stashes, creative packaging, little bonus treasures, etc.  The themed totes are as special as our FUNDRAISING cause.  100% of the proceeds from ToteTuesday are donated directly to the American Cancer Society through Fiberart For A Cause.

Thanks again to all the wonderful, creative, and generous donors.  And I truly appreciate everyone who makes the commitment to support ToteTuesday as a bidder.
