Impending Blog Sale

Just a quick post to let you know I will be having a blog sale. At least half the money made will be going to the Macmillan Cancer Support Charity. I decided to do this as one of my best friends is currently undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and I feel so powerless and angry on her behalf that I would like to do something.


If you have either swapped with me or are a company and sent me a product please do not be offended, I just have to be ruthless about the amount I can keep! I hope that you feel better knowing that I will not be profiting from the sale of something I received for free and the money goes to a very worthwhile cause.

A lot of the items will be from my personal collection and as I am moving house soon (fingers crossed) now is a good time to rationalise!

I'll begin photographing and listing soon, I will probably start the sale in small batches in the next few weeks. If you're looking for Christmas pressies for others or yourself, you might find something you like here and know that half of the money you pay will go to help those fighting cancer.

If you are a company and wish to donate something to the sale (all of the money raised from those items will go to charity) I would love to hear from you with donations!

Please note that all payments will go through Paypal only with no exceptions. I will post internationally and let you know what the postage will be on a per "order" basis.

  14. I'm sorry to hear about your friend, hope the treatments work well for her.

    Reading your post reminded me of a very good friend who lost her battle with breast cancer not long ago. Through her involvements with breast cancer organizations in both US & Singapore, her participation in "breast cancer survivors" dragon boats racings, and other things she did, she managed to raise awareness about it. I salute you for chanelling your anger in a good way. All the best with the blog sale!
