Auctionable Change

Tomorrow is the big day! Walking 5km to help raise funds for Ark Outreach Halifax during the Coldest Night of the Year event. ❤️🤲🏼

No pressure as times are tough but if you feel called to donate you can see my previous post or check my linktree. 😘

Here is the big reveal. Holly guessed it. ☺️ It’s a sign to go in the window of Warehouse market's new location on King Street.

They are moving in the spring and this will let everyone know where they will be. It measures 6 feet across and 3.5 feet tall. ❤️🥬🍅🥕🥔

Okay, last one for real. I overestimated my speed and I’m still not quite done. Probably later today but definitely tomorrow. 👀

Another peek. I’m simultaneously pleased and a little frustrated with my efforts. I like how the veggies are turning out but keeping things to scale has not been very successful. 😅 Using it as practice to not be perfectionist with myself and to accept and love what is. I think I’ll be finished today. Can’t wait to reveal the whole thing to you all. ❤️

Another sneak peek for the same project. I’ll show you the whole thing soon! 😁

Good morning all. Auctions may be on hold for the moment but I'm running a fundraiser for Save Our Old Forests on my other page. I am making more and will add new items through the week. I hope the winter is treating you kindly. ❤️🤲🏼

Part 2 of the guessing game. This and the part I shared on Tuesday are about 1.5 feet wide by 2 feet tall. They are both parts of a bigger project. 😁

Hi all! I’m walking to raise funds for Ark Outreach in the CNOY fundraiser at the end of February. If you want to donate you can click the link below or find it in my link tree on my profile. Thank you. ❤️🤲🏼

Hello again lovely people. Happy February! I had planned to restart auctions this month but am going to give myself some more time. I am doing a massive craft room clean and inventory and will be continuing to work on that while also building stock for auctions. I have a few big non auction related projects that I’m working on and trying to finish up. Here’s a sneak peak of a small part of one. Do you have any guesses of what it could be?

Good afternoon wonderful people! I have a list of organizations I’m planning to do auctions for but would love to hear your suggestions. Finding small, community run efforts is so special so I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. ❤️🤲🏼

I keep the auctions human focused despite knowing there are so many lovely animal and nature based efforts out there but please feel free to share any and maybe I’ll do a fundraiser through made by gretchen. 😘

As you may have surmised, I’m currently taking a little break. I often take January off of the auctions to give everyone, myself included, time to recover from the holidays and to let the new year to arrive at a gentler pace. My plan is to begin again in February but I’ll give updates on timing as the month approaches. I will be posting some thank you notes and also looking for your input in the next few weeks so keep checking back. Until then I hope you are all doing well and your days are kind.

Another new year has arrived and I hope it’s treated you all kindly so far. I would like give my sincere thanks to all of you for supporting Auctionable Change throughout 2025. It wasn’t an easy year in many ways, but you all helped make it meaningful and fulfilling. ❤️

Once again I am so grateful for your ongoing support and all that we do together. This past year, despite me being injured for many months, we raised a total of $2,376 for 11 organizations around Mi’kma’ki.

I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for us and our community building efforts. Thank you again from the bottom of my very appreciative heart, sending the very best wishes your way. ❤️🤲🏼
