Kim Family Auction

When something seemingly senseless happens, people often feel helpless. Distance from here to San Francisco, among other things, buffers people's sadness at the death of James Kim, and we all move back to the minor (or possibly major) worries of our own lives, perhaps to be reminded of the Kims when others go missing. But two crafty women—artists/sisters Lisa Congdon and Stephanie Barnes—have put together an impressive benefit auction of gorgeous art, clothes, and other hand-made treasures that defy distance and apathy. 100% of the proceeds go to the Kim family, and shipping appears to be free on nearly everything up for auction. As of today, with 4 days left, over $8,000 worth of bids have already been made.
