3 THE ATTIC PAGE 3 This Year s Opportunity Drawing comes to us from the Mississippi River Sampler Guild. They chose Plum Street Samplers 12 Days of Christmas as their BCRF Silent Auction project for this year. Each ornament is beautifully finished, and the set is stored in a polkadot box! Who doesn t love polka dots?! P u r c h a s e opportunity tickets for $1 each, or 6 for $5, or 12 for $10, or 24 for $20... or 120 for $100!

4 PAGE THE ATTIC A Few Corrections/Additions PAGE 4 In our BCRF-1 newsletter, this item was erroneously photographed with the Christmas tree backwards. That s, I m sure, an indication of how good Alice s Hardanger skills are. So we show it once again right sides up! Item 5: 2 Hardanger Ornaments MOB $40 I erroneously listed Item 51 as the last donation from Alice; however, Item 101 was also Alice s very generous donation. Item 101 is DMC 250th Anniversary Box Filled w/selection of Threads. MOB $125 In the first BCRF newsletter the photo didn t reflect the intention that the ornament was to be in between the firecracker base, but we wanted you to know that it s also a hangable ornament, and that's why it was photographed as it was in the last issue. I hope that it s clear to you how versatile this patriotic display is! Item 61: SANQ Magazines MOB $75 For Item 61 I misstated the MOB (Minimum Opening Bid) and have corrected it here. And I also needed to tell you that there are 50+ SANQ magazines as part of this donation!
