A Kamoka Pearl for only $10? - Maybe....

All right, up to $70,000! I hope that isn't all bidding on the Kamoka pendant, shiver... Oh well, all for a good cause! (feelingPinched, shallow and light-headed at that thought)

(weak voice) Y'all be sure to look at ALL the great stuff and place your bids (gulp) two more days to go!

Are there any pearl items besides the Kamoka? I never look past it...
(perking up) Let's all go have a look!

Wow! There's a 26 day trip along the famous Silk Road!!! Imagine!

There's also a stay at a villa in Provence, one week, ooooooo...
 
Oh Pattye, you are the sweetest! My motives could be seen as (sinister music) diversionary (wagging eyebrows).

My Inner Nun

My Inner Nun

pwp_3[1].jpg

My inner nun still lusts after the Kamoka pearl, but it's OK because all the money will build wells in Haiti. Another $10 for the collection plate. Everybody's inner nun should be down with that, so be generous and let's barage Passports with Purpose with donations from PG-ers. This is the year to take the Kamoka pearl back. The real sin would be to let it go outside the family. The bidding ends at 11:59 pm Eastern Time tomorow, Tuesday Dec. 11, 2012. http://passportswithpurpose.org/donate/
 
PwP posted a "best odds" list on their blog, showing the individual items with the least amount of donations. The Kamoka pearl was NOT on the list, lol.
 
That would be embarrassing :-D

"Someday...my pearl will come,
Someday, I'll find the one..." warble, warble

If I were a drinker, bluebirrrrrrrrrd, that little Fact would put me in my cups, and I'd get all sniffly and maudlin (because I ... missed ...Mass. Waaaaaaahhhhh)

I wish last year's winner would 'come in from the cold' and join us; we'd be nice. I promise not to Mug anyone.

Up to $80,000, which is pretty decent. Only today left.

(Pssssst Annie..."Nun" and "Lust" { shaking head }, not in the same sentence...)
 
I recall from last year that they keep accepting donations even after the giveaway closes.

They exceeded their goal last year-- hopefully they will do so again.
 
Good of you to call attention to that, PearlDreams - never a deadline for giving, just the raffle!

(the site hasn't updated the amount since I checked last. It's resting at $80,000)

Did you see that Week in Provence prize? Now that is something I would love to do.
 
"Oh, could I pleeeeeease win that pearl, please...I promise I'll watch my tongue (do what?), and be good, and wear it everywhere, and tell everyone about pearls (oh well, do that ad nauseum anyway so maybe I need to find something else) and Kamoka, and wear a tshirt or jacket saying ~Ask me about this pearl~ all the time - "

(oh, Lord, I have to stop. I just recognized that my posts are working through the 5 Stages of Grief. Gross. I think I'd better just return to my Grand Strategy of Saving, and slink/saunter/stomp off to a cup of hazelnut coffee and an almond cookie)

Yeah! Doesnt Provence sound elegant and dreamy? And how about the Silk Road tour?!?! Some of the exotic tours look intoxicating. (Ok, well yes, vineyards and wine tasting.)

What about white-water rafting down in the Grand Canyon!

The prize list is like a prompt for dreaming and new horizons...

Ok! They made it to $100,000! The rest is gravy, always needed, but Well Done!

(yawn. time to retire the alter-ego)
 
Great Pattye, what trips did you bid on? Or was it only THE PEARL? Goodies!

Thank you, NaughtyNunAnnie for every year bringing this to our attention, and Celeste and Josh for always donating the Best Prize on the Boards, PearlDreams for reminding us they need money all year, and Pattye, Red, Josh, GG, Kat, Linda and Bluebird for kicking the conversation around, all the Big-Hearted Posters at PG for making reading the old posts so much fun!

Admin(s), thanks for being patient (I mean really, a bored Admin could've pulled the plug at any time ;-D. Do you think their fingers never hovered over the switch? Uhoh, going into self-deprecation mode, must cease, communication closed)
