Hi everyone. Just a quick note: Linda is holding a benefit auction with 100% of proceeds to be donated to the Red Cross to help Japan. The auction is for a hand-knitted “Red and White” Blythe doll outfit.

We would appreciate it if you could forward this auction to any Blythe doll fans that you know who might be interested in bidding for this worthy cause. We’ve been very concerned with what has happened in Japan (we have relatives who live in Japan as well), and over the past few weeks have been trying to figure out the best way to help out. Rather than donate a percentage of each sale made on our site, we decided that an auction with the full proceeds going to the cause might be more effective.

The auction ends this Sunday at 5pm EST. Thanks!

[Added: Linda ended up raising $90 with this one auction, which her company will also match for a total of $180 raised. Thank you to all who placed bids!]
