Anticipated events of the Door County Scottie Rally for hoomans include live and silent auctions. Michele Geiger-Bronsky, DCSR founder, has already released a preview of a few such as this Scottie Quilt made by the ladies of the Berlin Wisconsin Senior Center and purchased to donate by Allison Rainboth. Mom can see us cuddled up in this.
Some great pieces of the retired/discontinued Noritake ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ pattern will be available also… thanks to Rich and Ellen Frielund. This china pattern produced by Noritake between the years 1996 and 1999 is a true collector’s item.
Three custom pet portraits are for auction In Memory of Ruffles de Scottie, our dear friend who crossed the Bridge a year ago after a valiant battle with cancer. Mom has to blink back tears just writing this; we miss her so much. The first is by Alaskan artist Kate Wood whose art medium expertise is watercolor.
Two portraits in colored pencil by artist Elena Adam are in the auction as well.
If you cannot be at the rally and would love to bid on the portraits or china, you can personal message a proxy bid to Michele by 5/19. How fab is that. Bark at you later. ~ Indy and Lucy
All the items look wonderful! I never knew about the Noritake dishes so I just checked on e-bay and found listings for 40 assorted items.
There are a big assortment of things from salt & pepper shakers, plates of different sizes, mugs, a creamer & sugar, a covered butter dish and so on. The prices are pretty steep, so I can imagine what the auction will be like at the rally! The highest bidder will be one lucky person!

They get higher every year. Mom has a service for 8 she bought around 2000 and they were high then.

I hope to see you there! Though George’s appearance is now quite doubtful.

I hope you can. I was worried about the ankle. You can ride the wagon though.

Mom liked this because she is glad you will be there. She is not glad Blondie is doubtful. But she understands the logistics of it all.

We’ve had a lot of Scottie loss. I didn’t know Ruffles.
