Half my winnings.

At a Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada gala fundraising event on Saturday eve, I 'won' this black necklace. By 'won', I mean that my bid was highest on the silent auction sheet when the auction closed, not that I didn't have to pay any money for it. Yes, I do need such a necklace. I will eventually need the haircut that I 'won' too. All proceeds went to the CCFC, of course.

Beautiful! Congrats

A great cause and you got a beautiful piece of jewellery. Not too bad a deal, I would say!

[Paula]

Nice swag!!! And such an elegant selfie:) Wish I could look this ladylike in a little black dress:)

[Jani M]

the haircut is then another shot. I like the necklace and I like the picture, very elegant.

[Kai Island]

lovely shot! plus I like the idea of the hidden face. What comes to my mind this way is the late 30s women's look!

[Dale Morano]

Fav for the photo and the cause. Crohn's is a crappy disease

@pwallis ~ No need to be too impressed - I totally dressed it down with my 1-inch dark roots!

@onarom ~ Thanks, Dale. Colitis is a crappy disease too.

[Krissy]

My love's uncle has Crohn's. It's nice to see you supporting the foundation :).

[Danielle Greenwood]

@kidatheart ~ It's shameless self-interest. ;)

[Lauren]

this is such a pretty looking shot! very lovely vintage feel to it!

[Jenn]

I agree with Lauren...very dainty looking. Good for you for supporting CCFC! I'm always aware how lucky I am that Crohn's didn't take over my life!
