for pete's sake online charity auction...
If you are a lover and collector of contemporary folk art and have some extra pennies laying around right now I suggest you get on over to Lori C. Mitchell's site, LaDeeDah Folk Art, and get to bidding. Lori has gathered 20 pieces of original and one of a kind folk art pieces from nationally recognized artists. Some of my favorite artists have contributed: Lori C. Mitchell, Trisha O'Donnell, Jennifer Murphy, Pat Murphy, Christy Silacci, and Nicol Sayer.

"About this auction:
My father, Peter Mitchell, dedicated much of his life to volunteering for the American Red Cross. On top of running the Atlanta based International Warehouse that is responsible for holding and shipping supplies to disaster stricken areas worldwide, he spent countless volunteer hours in the field assisting those effected by the Northridge Earthquake in California, Hurricanes Hugo and Floyd in Florida and the Carolinas, flooding in Texas, tornados across the 'alley' in Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia, as well as many other natural disasters and local fires. Perhaps his most emotional assignment was providing relief to the firefighters and emergency crew working at Ground Zero shortly after the World Trade Center bombing on September 11th.
I lost my dad in July of 2003. As news headlines announced disaster after disaster throughout 2004, I couldn’t help but feel the need to somehow fill his shoes . . . And so the idea for this auction was born.
With the amazing support of the contributing artists and the donation of web services by Chris Mills of dumbtourist, without whom none of this would be possible, I am proud to hold this event as a fundraiser for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. This fund supports disasters that make world headlines, as well as those less publicized, but equally devastating to victims. 100% of all proceeds will be donated.
