JEWEL STAITE IS AWESOME!!

Of course we all knew that already, but she proved it again today - and you'll want to gather your cashy money to bid on these items.  Jewel went out of her way to come by and sign several items for our auction, including this fan, donated by Firefly Cargo Bay;

this Kaylee (crocheted by Julia, along with Mal and Jayne, who will also be available);

Finding Serenity, in which Jewel wrote one of the essays;

this Serenity comic TPB;

and the Kaylee poster in the Women of Serenity lithograph set, donated by Kathleen & Simon.

In addition, Jewel has agreed to donate a recording for a ring tone to our live auction.  The winner will get to choose from several different Kaylee quotes from Firefly and Serenity.

In appreciation for her continued generous support, C&C Cakery made a dozen mini Kaylee cupcakes, with which Jewel was very impressed!  Wait till she tastest them - and wait till you see what they have in store for us this year.  (Pssst, visit their website to enter a Star Wars treat contest.)

Our thanks to Jewel for being such a class act and supporting CSTS Vancouver from Day One!

DO YOU HAVE YOUR TICKET YET?

Less than two weeks to go until CSTS Vancouver 2012 and everything is coming together for another wonderful event.  Remember that all the net proceeds go to charity so come and enjoy a day of fun and entertainment while helping women and girls throughtout the world and in our own backyard.  Tickets are $15 (cash) from me or from Gian at La Fontana Caffe (Boundary at Hastings) or $16 via PayPal and the button to the right.  Don't forget to bring lots of cash for the silent auction and this year - a live auction of some special items, pictures of which will be coming soon.

In the meantime, remember this?

That is a Kaylee cupcake from C&C Cakery.  Last year they made many Firefly-inspired treats for us and this year they will be back.  I can't guarantee they will have the same things, but whatever they bring, we know they will look fantastic and taste even better!

Speaking of Kaylee, look what Julia made for our silent auction, based on a pattern by Nyss, which can be found at http://pixelatedmushroom.blogspot.ca/:

 She also made Mal & Jayne, complete with guns in holsters:

There will be a Zoe at the auction, but she needs to spend a little more time with Julia. ;)

Thanks, Julia.  They look delightful, as people who saw them at FanExpo Vancouver can attest.
