Maggie Van Well is under the weather today (likely story….I think she's too busy scouring Brenda Novak's Online Auction for those $1 Buy it Now items) so I'm here to post in her place.
And I have to admit — I'm coveting a looooooot of items in Brenda Novak's Online Auction this month. I swear, I feel like a kid in a candy store!
And since I'm having so much fun scouring Brenda's auction, I thought I'd list some of MY favorite auction items…and if I had an unlimited bank account, they'd ALL be mine! 🙂
AMAZON KINDLE + Wild Rose Press Gift certificate donated by Wild Rose Press Authors
Even though I helped contribute to this, I still covet this! And if one isn't enough for you, there are TWO more Amazon Kindles to bid on!

Oh, dear lord! My watch list is too long to enumerate here! Has anyone found that $1 for today? I’ve been looking in-between errands, house stuffs and catching up on other paperwork. (And checking the Wild Rose Press birthday party at http://behindthegardengate.blogspot.com/ . So much to see and buy! *checks bank account*
Jeannie, thanks for posting this reminder. I’m off to check it all out.
Jeannie,
Thanks so much for stepping up to the plate for me. Your proxy post couldn’t be more meaningful for me since hubby is diabetic. This auction means a lot to me personally.
Thanks again! You’re a gem 🙂

Jeannie, I’d love every one of the things you covet. 🙂 Are you bidding on any of them? I’m positive I couldn’t afford any of them, but I did donate a collection of my books to the auction. I’ll have to go browse over the next couple weeks.
I’m with all of you — my bank account groans whenever May rolls around. LOL
I’ve also thrown a copy of SOMETHING ABOUT HER up for auction, along with a Jane Austen Companion CD of great music.
