items were the highlight of a live auction. In addition to the birdhouses, other auction items included jewelry, wine, Nashville Speedway tickets, paintings, and more. Area restaurants and caterers provided some great food and beverages, too.Joe White (above), who happens to be my neighbor, was the auctioneer. He's showing off This is Music Row, one of my favorite birdhouse entries and one of the live auction items.
A side note. . . The birdhouse that I designed was in the silent auction. When we left the event, it was still in the auction, and the bid at the time we left was over $100.

Your linked birdhouses are really nice and your photos of them are wonderful.
This should be an exciting time for me. Your bird house auction reminded me of that. I made one bird house out of cedar boards leftover from my new fence. Not as pretty as your bird houses but OK.
I just started looking at new plants (Ohio natives) for 2008 and it should be exciting but I have lost some energy along with my youth and it is hard for me to imagine myself digging holes and planting things with all the aches and pains that I have these days.
They all look so good. Some people are so talented and artistic and some are named Jim.
So how did the auction for your birdhouse end?
Do you know?
Yay! I'm glad your bird(dog)house was a success!
Hi Chris, another hectic week, so I’m sorry to have been a bit absent. Anyhow TGIF, so I managed to drop by to see some wonderful pictures. Loved the birdhouses, the wines and the world market... But was impressed with the March snow storm; I'm always impressed (badly) with snow storms, as we don't have that in Lisbon... ;)
Posted some Greek Isles sun at Blogtrotter. Hope you enjoy. Have a great weekend!

How fun, Chris...I knew that your birdhouse would be a big success!
$125! Do I hear $130?
You are talented!
Yesterday a bird nest, today a birdhouse, lol.
Thanks for your kind words, everyone! I do lie to help out when I can.
And, George, it never hit me that I did the bird's nest and then house. DUH!!
I hung up a bird house yesterday and a few more feeders. Trying to attract more birds this year. I am going to try and get a bird bath and some plants in an area so I can sit and watch them. And, take photos of course.
