Just two more auctions for the Pearl Foundation; after that it's all going to archives. Read about Elton John, buy beadwork by Mercedes Lackey, have a big time!

What?! Another auction, you ask? And Janis is still not making any money from it? Well, thank you Covid-19.

Yet another auction in the hope of continuing to fund the Pearl Foundation when I'm unable to tour.

Ebay Auction To Benefit The Pearl Foundation

Please share!! As many of you know, my wife and I moved recently, downsizing from 4,500 sq ft to 1,000. We have no room left for most of my "stuff"!!! so I'm in the process of donating my archives, so most of my memorabilia is going there - however, my friend Joan Maute helped me select things that seemed appropriate for Pearl Foundation fundraisers. We are beginning with a 7-day auction with multiple items.This auction will end Sunday, May 16th at 4:00PM PT.
