answers to your burning questions
trouble viewing the shrine auction site?
for some reason internet explorer works intermittently.
more dependable access seems to ensured with
firefox/mozilla or google chrome.
Mozilla/Firefox are alternative BROWSERS to Internet Explorer.
how do i place a bid?
you must be registered to bid and comment.
directions for registration are on the main page of the auction site.
there is a small box clearly marked to accept your bid.
please make your bids in dollar amounts. you can increase in any dollar amount you wish.
for some crazy unexplainable reason this program loves your bids,
but does not like dollar signs!
there is a small box you may check under comments
that will generate an email to you of any new bids on the
object of your desire!
may i bid from outside the U.S.A.?
yes! we welcome all bidders, domestic and international. please note, payment will be
in U.S. currency, through paypal at the end of the auction. please
understand those bidding from outside the U.S.A. will be paying
for the shipping costs of their winning bid to the artist of the
winning item. this makes it possible to offer
100% of the monies raised to
oaxaca streetchildren grassroots.
who are we???
we are a diverse group of artists who
create in joy,
offer with gratitude, acknowledge with love,
transform with conviction.
our lives have been touched in deeply meaningful ways
by the culture of mexico and this is our
way of giving back to those
who have so generously
given to us.
where can i view more photographs of the art work?
please click here
to visit a sister blog-site dedicated to this annual event.
you will find a feature page with the list of artists,
names linked to their personal blog homes.
continue scrolling and you will find every artist
represented with a series of photographs in large format.
how can i help support this years efforts?
please help us spread the word!
you may post this banner on your blog
and link to this post
be sure and leave a comment on that post if you are helping
spread the word, where on sunday june 12,
i will randomly draw one name to receive a
silver sacred heart from my personal collection.
please feel free to leave questions regarding
the shrine auction in the comments
section, i will update daily.
enjoy the auction!
This such a delightful venture. Good luck!
All the best, Boonie

Dear rebecca,
It is my intention to support you in my posts in whatever way I can. Blessings on your auction. May it be fruitful and may the proceeds multiply for a wonderful cause. My friend has posted this on his Church facebook site today! He asked me for the link when I told him about it!

I'm so excited to visit again this year - I had no idea that there would be another one following last years amazing benefit/auction, and if there will be one next year I'd love to put my name down to be a part of it and give something too! Please let me know how I can do this! Thank you and hoping lots of money is raised for this wonderful cause! Much love and many blessings ~
