Need your opinions please!
I am putting together a small basket for our church's Harvest Festival "Bountiful Baskets" auction for this coming Saturday. 100% of proceeds of the sale of the baskets go to my church, so I want to do a good job on my basket and since they need an estimated value of the basket, I need your help. I thought a basket of homemade dishcloths would be a good thing to do.
Here is what I have done with the basket so far:
The small basket has two "ball band", one "swish with a twist" and one "garterlac" cloths. I also included a small bottle of dawn dish soap. I'll tie it up in clear wrap before I bring it to the church. Do I have enough in the basket? I would have liked to get some of the pretty soaps, but I have to get the basket to the church by Thursday, so I don't think I could pull that off. Can you think of anything else I could easily get that I could add and what do you think would be good estimate value? Thanks so much to all of you for helping me out on this!

Another idea may be to talk to someone who has "worked" at the harvest festival before. He/She may be able to help you determine a price. By the way, I think you did a wonderful job on the dishcloths. They look very pretty in the basket.
is there maybe a cute book you could include? it needs a little height! love the dishcloths though!!!
I am donating some to our high school PTSA fundraiser...I hope to get $5 per cloth. (Doing 'em in the colors of the 3 high schools in our district!)
It's a silent auction, so who knows what the price will end up being...
I think the basket looks great as is.

I'd probably list it at $25, considering you have the soap and the basket. Could you find a little stuffed or ceramic animal? I'm guessing a woman will buy it and what girl doesn't like a cute little beanie baby? Ok, I'd gag but little old church ladies love 'em! Great job!!
Or, maybe a store bought scrubbie? And a little bottle of nice hand lotion? A sample size would be a perfect fit!
I used to be in charge of the basket raffel at me church (before moving) and I would have been thrilled to have someone donate your basket!
Theonly thing that I would change is the placement: stuff the bottom of the basket with a little tissue, put the dish detergent toward the "back" of the basket, roll one of the two ballbands a bit tighter and stand it candle-stick style next to the detergent,and "artfully arrange" the others in front. You've then got the "hight" and "interest."
Great job!
ps: I agree with the $25 value.
