Day 356 – The auction approaches
There are literally hundreds of dresses in my home. The ones that are ironed and ready for sale now fill three wardrobes and there are many more in bags waiting to be pressed when I have the time.
I originally intended to sell the dresses through an online auction but there is a big part of me which would love to sell them at an event specifically organised for 365 Dresses: The Mind Project.
I am looking for ideas from you all about how you think I would be best to sell the dresses. The auction will not take place for some time but I really need your thoughts on how best it should be done.
One of my thoughts was to have an auction in Harborough where all are invited to attend. In my madder moments I had hoped that it could be combined with a mini catwalk where the dresses are showcased by volunteers.
This is a possibility but my concern is that I am kind of doing this project alone and fear the stress that such an event might cause me.
Perhaps this is why an online auction might be better but I do not know whether this would be the best way to make money for both Mind and for the Stretton Ward.
People have been so generous with their donations throughout the year and I want to do them justice. Please post your ideas on how best this could be done, I am in need of help.
