Posted on by Joanne
What are you doing tonight? Do you love antiques, sit glued to the TV when American Pickers, Pawn Stars and Storage Wars are on? Do you get up at 5am to be ready for yard sales? Want to go shopping at a venue that has unique one of a kind items? Looking for a special gift for someone? What if that place let YOU be in control of how much you pay? If any of this sounds like fun, you should head over to 1 Lexington Ave in Magnolia tonight for the auction being held by Cape Ann Auction. The sale is filled with antiques, jewelry, coins, furniture, glass & china and much more. It starts at 6pm, but inspection starts at 4pm and there’s a lot of things to see so you should get there early.

St. Ann’s School Auction Fundraiser From Fr Matthew Green

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Good morning, Joey!
The St. Ann’s School auction fundraiser last night was a great event. I wasn’t able to stay for the whole thing, but I snapped some photos while I was there. Unfortunately, I didn’t get everyone’s names to label the photos, but I have to run to preside a funeral now anyway so wouldn’t have time to label them all anyway…

Gloucester UU Church’s “Bidding for Good” Auction Site

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Jerry Ackerman Writes-

There’s someone out there who would DIE to have a poster signed by BRAD PITT and TERRENCE MALICK… It’s up for sale now, at a bargain price, on the Gloucester UU Church’s “Bidding for Good” auction site… but TIME IS SHORT – THE AUCTION CLOSES TUESDAY EVENING. This film hit the theaters last week – so this item is HOT.

Here’s the description…

Picture this on YOUR WALL!

Brad Pitt/Terrence Malick SIGNED poster

Rare teaser poster for the upcoming film by Terrence Malick, "The Tree of Life." Very few posters of this initial campaign featuring a baby’s foot are in circulation. It was only out for a few weeks when it was replaced by the final poster which is the multi image one that’s everywhere now. This copy has been signed by writer/director Terrence Malick and producer/star Brad Pitt.  Size 27" X 40". Comes in mailing tube, excellent, unused condition.

Here’s the link:

Please let folks know – TIME IS SHORT!

Best wishes – Jerry Ackerman

15 Hickory St., Gloucester, MA

The Plum Cove PTC will be hosting its 3rd annual online fundraising auction for The Plum Cove Elementary School in Gloucester, MA from March 14th through March 28th.

Gloucester, MA Feb 1st, 2011 – Expect to find great deals on one-of-a-kind, unique items and experiences at Plum Cove’s largest annual fundraising event. Cape Ann’s favorite local businesses, artists, authors and services have donated items to benefit this, our 3rd consecutive online auction.

100% of the proceeds will benefit the arts and education of the students at Plum Cove Elementary School. The success of our past auctions has allowed us to re-build our playground and make improvements to our library; including the purchase of books and the implementation of an electronic library cataloging system.

About the Plum Cove Parent-Teacher Co-op:

Voted PTO Today’s “Outstanding New Group” of the year in 2009, the Plum Cove Parent-Teacher Co-op was established in 2007 following a major citywide redistricting that left the school without a parent/teacher group of their own. The group leaders and parent volunteers, through an enormous amount of local support, raised funds to upgrade the existing playground equipment, relocate a playground from an old school, update the library and upgrade the school grounds, making them better suited to the new student body.
