"A Few of Leslie's Favorite Things" Auction-The Rules and Posts

This auction is now CLOSED. Thank you to all who participated!

As we have been hinting around all month long, it is time for the "A Few of Leslie's Favorite Things" blog auction!  I am super excited about this one since it encompasses literally a few of my favorite things.  So enough of the chit-chat.  Let's get this auction started.

The Rules

This blog auction will last for exactly one week starting Saturday, January 18th and ending on Saturday, January 25th at 9PM.  There isn't much time to bid on your favorite item(s) so make sure that you don't let your first bid be your lowest bid, just in case time does run out.  Also, make sure that you post your final bids exactly on or before the deadline of 9PM CST.  Comments made even one second or longer after the deadline will not be considered.

Each item has its own post in order to make bidding easy.  I have started the bidding of each item at 30% of the retail price.  No bids will be considered if posted on this post.  Make sure you post your bid on the item's post in order to be considered.  Links to each post are listed below.

Make sure when leaving your bid price that you leave an email address as well.  If you win the item, this will be the way that I contact you to work out the details of receiving your item, payment, etc.  Make sure that your payment is mailed promptly so the details can be worked out with each of the supporters in receiving your item.  Once the item is awarded to the highest bidder, the supporter will mail the item directly to you, hence the reason for leaving your email address with your bid in order to work out the details.

True Love Ring by Amy Cornwell Designs (Auction)

This auction is now CLOSED. Thank you to all who participated!

I first found out about Amy Cornwell Designs jewelry through a high school friend and fell in love with Amy's jewelry.  Each piece of jewelry is handmade with love and devotion.  I actually own 2 pieces of her jewelry and would love to own her True Love Ring, which is up for grabs today.  

True Love Ring by Amy Cornwell Designs

As described on the Amy Cornwell Designs shop:  

This wonderful ring starts with twisted sterling wire that is paired with a sweet domed heart that is stamped with you and your love's initials. A beautiful reminder of the true love in your life!

You can have initials separated by an ampersand (shown), three initials or simply leave the heart blank. The letters are lowercase typewriter font (the lowercase "L" can look like a 1). There are multiple options, so please see the pictures for descriptions! The lowercase fancy font includes letters and numbers.

Important details about this ring:

1. Eventually the darkening of the letters will most likely wear off due to the doming of the heart and washing of hands. It can be left natural for a subtle look, or redarkened for a $2.50 shipping fee. I also offer DIY instructions for redarkening (with a polishing square included) as an option for a small fee.

2. These bands are thin, so it can feel like it runs large. If you're between sizes please choose the smaller size.

Check out the Amy Cornwell website, Facebook page, Instagram, and Twitter pages for more information concerning her shop.

This hand-stamped ring retails for $27.50.  The bidding begins at $8.25.
