Call for donations - artsy-craftsy-crazy things welcome

We (The Baker Street Babes) are currently setting up the Daintiest Thing under a Bonnet Charity Ball for the BSI weekend in January 2018 (here is a report on the ball from 2016). The topic is going to be epic, btw, but we’ll do an official announcement soon, so no spoilers yet :)

The ball is a charity ball, with all of the proceedings of our silent and verbal auctions going to a charity that supports wounded veterans (yes, this is all about one John Hamish Watson). Which charity we will choose this time will also be announced soon. Sherlockians are crazy about all things Sherlock Holmes and they are also crazy about helping others - therefore, our auctions have raised several thousand dollars over the past five years/balls, all with the help of amazing donations we received from wonderful people.

And this is where you lovely, talented people come in. If you have art, self made, crafty things, books you’ve written, jewellery, knitted items, collectibles, or anything other related to Holmes or Victorian London and you feel that you would like to support us in this endeavour, please be in touch with me (maria at bakerstreetbabes dot com).

It can be anything from a matchbox miniature 221B to a painting made with tea (yes, such things exist:

to Holmes and Watson painted on acorns or an origami Moriarty, to art prints and traditional art, poetry, music pieces etc. There are almost no limits.

We’d be so grateful for any and all donations we receive and are absolutely blessed to have received so many wonderful items for our past auctions which really helped to make a difference.

Please be in touch and please signal boost, if you know lovely people who might be willing to donate items.

Thank you!

There will also be goodie-bags for all attendees, so if you have Sherlockian themed bookmarks, postcards, flyers, book ads, pens, stickers, badges, anything that can go into 120-150 goodie bags please also get in touch with Maria. Thank you so much.
