Collaborate for a Cause 2013 ♥ ♥ ♥

It's back again for 2013! If you haven't yet seen this wonderful Facebook page, or missed out on all the fun in the last two years, it's called Collaborate for a Cause and once again it's bringing the Facebook handmade community together for a charity auction event with a difference.

Created by Jen Kennedy of Ainslee Fox, it's all about promoting fun and friendship through collaboration on a handmade item or set of items for the auction. Collaborating Facebook partners create handmade items for the auction and choose a charity to which the proceeds of their item or set will be donated.

Once again I am thrilled to be a part of this fabulous idea - my own Mini-Me Handcrafts will be creating some beautiful pieces for special group collaborations with some wonderfully talented and very gorgeous ladies.

Here is a look at my items... yes, my very popular afternoon tea sets will be making appearances in two wonderful group collaborations.

"Tea with Alice" 14 piece afternoon tea set

"Mint & Rose" 14 piece afternoon tea set

I'll show you the group collaboration sets very soon...

Bidding on the auction will commence at 8pm AEST on July 26th 2013. Please take a look at Collaborate for a Cause on Facebook for more information, and get ready for an even bigger and better charity auction than the last two years - definitely the most uplifting and wonderful auction the Facebook community has ever seen!

Collaborate for a Cause 2012 - it's on right now!

The auction is underway and there are so many lovely handmade collaborations listed - you should take a look! 

My crochet pieces have been incorporated into the most fabulous pieces! Here are the finished Mini-Me Handcrafts collaborations:

This gorgeous set of 2 x pillowcases & matching cushion cover was created by my wonderful friend Jac from Jac & Skeet featuring my crocheted edging and flowers.

This beautiful dress was created by my incredibly talented friend Tracey from Sugar an Spice. This is a size 2-3 handmade "Neveah" dress with ribbon sash and corset style back featuring my crocheted applique heart.

All money raised from auction of both of these collaborations will be going to Raising Hope for Brittany to assist with disabled equipment and medical treatment for Brittany - a beautiful 15 year old girl who has an acquired hypoxic brain injury.

Please take a look at Raising Hope for Brittany on Facebook. Every little bit helps to make a difference and a postive impact on Brittany's life.

This Facebook charity auction will finish tonight Sunday July 29th at 8pm AEST. Bidding has been very generous so far! You can find out more on Facebook at Collaborate for a Cause and the auction album can be found here.

Collaborate for a Cause - Mini-Me update!

I have just completed my contribution to a second collaboration for the wonderful Facebook auction at Collaborate for a Cause.

This collaboration is between Sugar an Spice, Little Wildrose, Karma Rocks, Shabby Shac and of course my own Mini-Me Handcrafts. The theme is "High Tea".

Here is my little bit...

A 15 piece tea set, a set of 4 fancy cakes and a set of 4 cupcakes.

... and here are the others which complete the theme!

Tracey from Sugar an Spice: Handmade Shabby Baby dress with lace and vintage doilies, elastic elbow length satin gloves, sugar bonnet, sugar evening tea headband and wrought iron cupcake tier.

Janine from Little Wildrose: Handmade satin lined High Tea clutch (fabric matched to the Sugar an Spice High Tea dress).

Tracey from Karma Rocks: Hand pressed silver High Tea necklace.

Kim from Shabby Shac: Handmade High Tea quilt.

All money raised from auction of this package will be going to Chloe at Spinakids to assist with disabled equipment, medical treatment and general resources for a bright and bubbly nine year old girl with special needs who is confined to a wheelchair.

SpinaKids was formed in September 2009 to support parents, carers, family and friends of children with spinal cord injuries or defects, and to raise awareness of the difficulties these children and their families face every day. This organisation is run tirelessly by Chloe's mother Lynne, who never stops doing everything she can to make services better for all those affected with this type of disability.

Whilst beautiful Chloe won't walk again, there are many children who can and will, if they have access to rehabilitation services, equipment and support networks. Please take a look at Spinakids on Facebook - every bit of support can make a difference.

The Collaborate for a Cause Charity Auction will begin on Friday 29th July at 8pm EST and finish on Sunday 31st July at 8pm.
