Usually, my first day of spring coincides with MAWA’s annual
Over-the-Top art auction and cupcake party. Every year, we stand outside and
enjoy the warm temps while munching cupcakes and waiting for the
much-anticipated raffle.
This year, however, it was anything but warm. It was COLD. And
SNOWING. And did I mention the cold? By the numbers, it was a full 36 degrees
COLDER than last year. What the heck?
BUT, frigid temps aside; it was, as always, a lovely event.
Undeterred by the cold, a bazillion people came out to bid on 153 pieces of art
and eat dozens and dozens of cupcakes.
The two pieces that I had in the show, “An Extraordinary
Woman” and “Three Little Houses”, sold for $90 and $110, respectively, and my Oreo
cupcakes were a hit. (At least, I assume they were, as there were none left by
the time I got there around 3:30pm.)
Our only disappointment was a silent-auction shut-out, but
we can’t win every year, right?
I am already planning next year’s art… and next year’s
cupcakes!
