Today we're going to show you a little home decor that is available at the annual Pink Pumpkin Auction this year. These two items will be offered in the silent auction.

The first is a table runner and placemat set handmade and donated by Merry Ann Roth. This is a reversible set offering two fall views. On one side a fall barn and truck, and the reverse side has a fall pumpkin and sunflower print. Valued at $35.00.

The second is a donation from Sir Renna Tea in downtown Lincoln. Eileen Mullins chose these items and delivered them to the office the other day for the Pink Pumpkin. The gift included a Focusula Candle warmer and a Hanna's at Home soy candle. Valued at $35.00 as well.

These two items will go to the highest bidder and we hope you will all consider taking a stab at being the winner.

The Pink Pumpkin Auction will be held Thursday October 5th at Collision Concepts, 1005 Macon Street in Lincoln. Doors open at 5 p.m. with the silent auction beginning at that time and wrapping up at 6 p.m.

The live auction will begin at approximately 6:15 p.m.

Free food and drink provided.

Hope to see you there!
