Hear ye Hear ye! Ann Wood & Open Road in our Food Bank Raffle!


The fabulously talented Ann Wood contacted me last night and offered to donate a pair of her gorgeous birds for our raffle to help us raise money for the Food Bank of NYC. Then just a few minutes ago Open Road Publishing gave me a call and seeing as we all love Paris so much (don't we?), they've generously offered to donate their awesome Eating and Drinking in Paris & Best of Paris guidebooks! (I use them when I go and they're fabulous books--really!) Now they're among the beautiful offerings by these great designers:
Therapy
Hortensia Handmade Knits
Sesame Letterpress
Le Papier Studio
Tea Spot NYC Tea & Cookies
Bonbon Oiseau Jewelry


Cindy of Quaint Handmade left me this wonderful comment this morning which I had to post.
good luck with the holiday shows. your raffle is wonderful!
we recently made a donation to meals-on-wheels and were
so sad when we read that people who went to soup kitchens
on thanksgiving this year were turned away because there was not enough food.

She's the reason we've decided to extend the raffle's drawing until December 21st-it will give more people more time to participate and hopefully we can raise more money for the Food Bank.

What you need to know:
Tickets are $10 per ticket on-line via paypal until 5pm December 21st. Just send to deb@bonbonoiseau.com and we will enter your info and how many tickets you bought into our drawing!
Buy as many as you'd like but be sure to include your
name, address, telephone number, & email so we can contact you when you win!
What a great way to donate this season and get something amazing back! You deserve a little something too right?

you really just brought tears to my eyes, deb. this raffle is developing a life of its own and will grow. we always go to divine studio, so we'll purchase our ticket when we see you in person. you really are a good, good bird.

Wow, what a great raffle. It breaks my heart to read people did not have food to eat on Thanksgiving. Like Helen said, I wish I were there, but at least we have the "donate" button. Thanks Deb!
