50 books in a year of being 50

In this year of being 50 I have decided to follow one of my creative passions
and make 50 handmade books over the year.

Early next year I will find a way to exhibit the books and auction them.

The money raised will go to Plum Village in France,
a monastic retreat centre inaugurated by Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.

Countdown to the closing of the auction - only 3 weeks left

Sunday 21st August is the day when the auction finishes and all bids close for the 50 books. Make sure you have bid for your favourite!
You can bid up until 4pm on the final day but if you want to ensure your bid is successful please come along to the Open House to be there in person.
I will be contacting people by email if they are outbid but there may be bidding wars, as certain books are very popular.
Please browse the previous posts for details on the individual books and/or come along on the day!

SUNDAY 21ST AUGUST (NOT Saturday 27th August) is the date set for the end of the auction of the 50 books, and at this point I will be able to inform everyone if they have 'won' the book or books they are bidding on. I am holding an Open House in Collingham, 12 - 4pm. You are welcome to come and browse the books, have some refreshments and look through other small items for sale (candle holders and cards).

Tell your friends and family. Tell complete strangers!
