Master weaver Janice Vanwinkle has two weavings over at the Friends of Hubbell Auction site at auctions.friendsofhubell.org. This is a buy-now event for pieces that did not sell in their weekend auction. Janice needs to sell these two pieces quickly, so she will consider serious offers.
Janice is the full-time caregiver for her special-needs brother, who is starting treatment for an aggressive cancer. Janice will be with him in Albuquerque for five to six weeks. She has paid her rent and utilities two months in advance, but needs to cover her living expenses while her brother is in treatment. You can read that as Janice is like the best sister a guy could have.
You can find both pieces at auctions.friendsofhubbell.org. We've put links to the specific items in the picture captions.
