Thank you so much and I'm sorry you didn't win! I received a message from the bidding winner and apparently they were pretty determined to take it home. Sadly I was not at the ball, I was only able to participate in the auction.
very welcome!! haha no worries! Im happy they got it then! Aww ok, cause I was like maybe I met you and I didn't know!! Hopefully you'll be able to attend the next!
