Tour d' Esprit Silent Auction 2009

This year will not DISAPPOINT! We have been frequenting Haiti this year due to our on-going design, purchase and about-to-be-installed SOLAR PANELS! ( It's very hard to sew up a wound in the dark or take an x-ray without electricity!) We have some of the best metal pieces ever: bicycle riders, musicians, wheelchair people, birds, angels, Noah's Arc, crosses, and trees of life as well as wood carvings, oil paintings, and handmade baskets. Watch this space for updates!


Check out some of this year's silent auction items.


On a lucky day, you can find a gem among the art vendors in Port-au-Prince. This painting happens to be by a listed Haitian artist, Luckner Pierre.



















Haitians are the masters of recycling!
This recycled metal drum has been crafted into a sculpture featuring a birdbath filled with 3-dimensional birds. Very cute! 22 inch diameter.



This HUGE 22 inch diameter bowl with handles is forged by hand and the coral reef scene is HAND PAINTED ! Exceptional !



You won't find this at Busters! Rum Galore. Hibiscus, Orange, Coconut, Rhum Raisin, 5-star Haitian Rum! The Best! And free samples of our famous rum cake!



Hang on - White Water Ahead!
Hand Carved Wooden Canoe
