"HELPING HELD" OWL


This one-of-a-kind shocking pink owl with green/blue elastic cord is flying to the west coast!

Thank you to a gracious winner of the bid who helped in the "Helping Herd" 

- an online benefit auction for Chris and Christine Silver of Earth Art Cashmere

It was my pleasure to help raising funds to help the Silvers though this challenge

***

On Thursday, March 22nd, 2012, a fire destroyed much of Chris and Christina Silver’s farm near River John, Nova Scotia, and killed more than 40 of their cashmere goats--about half of their herd. While the fire caused only minor damage to their home, it also cut off electrical service to the house, so they have had to relocate temporarily. While the Silvers had been working on upgrades to their 150-year-old barn and adjacent buildings, the structures did not yet meet current building code requirements. As a result, the Silvers were not insured for their loss. In addition to this hardship, Chris has been battling leukemia. You can read more about this tragedy here and here
