Quarter Auctions from the Heart

December 4, 2014
 

Oh my friends..have you been to a Quarter Auction yet? I am told they are all the rage here in SWFL. We do not have anything like it in my village that is for sure. The one I went to was to raise funds for an organization called Learning for Life. They work with students to teach them things they need to be more successful like character education and things like that. I think they need to bring it to the schools in my village. Sometimes cannoli's can be mean to each other and the youth of our village could use some direction and guidance when it comes to making better choices. Ever see a teen cannoli these days??? Not sure what the deal is with the pants that ride so low you see what they have on underneath, if they even have anything on underneath. Lucky for SWFL they have a group like this.

So at this Quarter Auction I was told that you can win prizes for only a few quarters each...my type of game! They have all these local vendors, who also were selling their items, each auction off something of theirs for like 2-3 quarters. You rent this thing called a paddle and if you see an item you want to win, you put the amount of quarters they as for in this bowl and hold your paddle up as high as you can. Now they told me the higher, the better your chance to win. I figured being so small I would not stand a chance to win anything but that was not the case. I actually won 2 items!!! Holy Cannoli!!!! 

I won some bling and these sandals that had bling on them. I made new friends too and met Sissy Love owner Crystal and a Fibi and Clo gal Elba! These ladies know how to dress this cannoli!!! Do you like my new pink bow and sandals???? I am a cannoli trend setter...a cannoli fashionista!!!! 

This Quarter Auction also had entertainment from the Florida Calendar Girls! I had seen these gals dance before but this time they asked me to dance with them! I had to turn them down....I am way too small, did not know their dances and they did not have a costume that would fit me! Ok... truth be told cannoli's can't dance! 

So it was really a fun evening and of course I was a big hit! If you want to know more about Quarter Auctions take a hop over to SWFL Quarter Auctions from the Heart
