Started at the beginning of May and will run to May 31. I've been remiss about posting this, but it was in the tabs of my blog header.
There are tons of items/vacations/writerly/non-writerly/crafty/non-crafty/books stuff to bid on.
Of course, I've donated to the cause again this year.

If you want a color other than ivory, you will have to choose it from a list of possible colors and give me 4-6 weeks to make it.
