As part of our fundraiser, we're auctioning off an afternoon tea with The Bean! Here's a chance for you and a friend to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the IBKC world, have a little lunch, and meet Charlene and the IBKs. The auction is open to anyone around the world, but you are responsible for your travel expenses.
Charlene is quite excited for the tea. She promises to be on her best behavior and will be wearing her white gloves.

Catnip scones? Catnip tea?
ReplyDeleteOoh. Hope to win the lottery very soon.
ReplyDeleteAlso, glad to see the auction of naming rights idea is back again. :-)
brilliant
ReplyDeleteIf I win, will you let me see your belly stripe??
ReplyDeleteOh, if only I weren't so far away...
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness! What a lovely, lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteI know I am unable to bid high enough to win..I'll have to take on another Charlene challenge instead. But it is so lovely to imagine having tea with the Bean (and you, too, Laurie!)
Charlene looks like a proper Earl Grey drinker. Good luck with the auction!
ReplyDeleteWell, we know the kittens are all set with their tiny cups of coffee.
ReplyDeleteMelissa,
ReplyDeleteA small correction: We know the kittens are all happy to set their tiny posterior in their tiny cups of coffee!
Charlene has a belly stripe? WOW I did not know. Life for me has gotten much tougher (one of the millions of people who lost their unemployement benefits - after 26 whooping weeks), but I promise to donate to my local shelter once I have a job again.
ReplyDeleteWill we be having kitten kibble with our tea?
ReplyDeleteOh my, I am in the process of planning a trip to Seattle, do we get to choose the time if we are from "out of the area"...?
ReplyDeleteLaurie - she prefers chamomile... it calms her kitty nerves.
ReplyDeleteAnon,, yes,, we'll find a mutually agreeable date.
This is a most excellent idea. Who cares about bidding to have lunch with Warren Buffett or Bill Gates when you can have high tea with CHARLENE BUTTERBEAN! Count me in!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I would so love this! You are a fund-raising genius, Laurie. Best of luck with the auctions.
ReplyDeleteomg I'm in the Seattle area for work next week!! I wonder how unhappy my boss would be if I missed half a day of conference to visit Butterbean :)
ReplyDeleteThat teapot really brings out your eyes Charlene. :-)
ReplyDeleteS, I'm sure your boss would understand.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most fabulous prizes ever!!!

I hope the person(s) who get to take the tea are agreeable to documenting the event for the rest of us... We don't need to see your faces. ;-)
ReplyDelete[I'd love to participate, but there's a bit too much water and land in between...]
Cynthia - now I can;t shake the mental image of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates having tea with Charlene Butterbean.
ReplyDeleteMelissa -- those guys should be so lucky!
ReplyDeleteOh my, what an excellent idea for an auction! If I had the funds (both to auction and to travel to Seattle) I would so do it! For next year's fundraiser, when I win the lottery, I will do it! ;)
ReplyDeletePS: Charlene looks so fab with the teapot -- it does go perfectly with her pretty eyes!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to meet Charlene unfortunately there is a whole ocean between us :(
ReplyDeleteAnd she's going to be wearing her white gloves! (claps hands excitedly)
ReplyDeleteThat white gloves comment made me *snerk* aloud :)
ReplyDeleteif i could have lunch with the Bean, i would be rooting for curtain climbing , kitchen floor sliding , and acrobatics on the glass and earthen-ware! then a nice lap time and nap. :) ha!
ReplyDeleteOh, the very idea of tea w/the Bean and Laurie makes me giddy. It's true, Laurie, you ARE a fundraising genius!
