100 ruby and madame hawke sale : busy busy bargains and baking

crazy day! arrived at quarter to ten to prepare (sale started at eleven) to find a group of girls already gathered outside in the carpark. wtf?? by five to eleven there were at least one hundred girls and ladies pressed up against the glass doors with their hot lil hands ready to grab. come eleven, the doors opened and they swarmed in like an invasion, filling up the room to full capacity before realising oops there was no room to move now! for the first two hours it was absolute chaos and carnage - i heard a girl say to her mother she had to fight another girl for the garment she was wearing. why would you be proud of that? glad i got my picks beforehand!! 

i was lucky me and ash were in our wee entrance corner with our beautifully presented bake sale - on some old wooden racks from the dunedin store. thanks to greer, ash, deena, neha, tez, mel, aimee, michele and i there was quite a delish feast going on! cupcakes, brownies, cakes, ginger crunch, afghans and cookies. 

amongst the manic sale, our bake sale and the sausage sizzle managed to raise a super 668.30 for the red cross and christchurch! i am absolutely stoked with this news, as was ash and the ruby girls. i don't even know what else i can say apart from that i am SO thankful to all of those who helped with this on both sides of the fundraising. it's great to know that we can still make a difference here in auckland.
