Countdown

The auction ends tomorrow (Sunday, November 15) at noon (Eastern time). Therefore, the last bid (comment) received on each pendant at 11:59 a.m. or before will win. Any bids received from 12:00 p.m. onward will be invalid. I know that this could get tricky as there will be many people trying to place bids at the same time, but I thank you in advance for your patience, flexibility and understanding.

I will post the winners of each pendant shortly after noon and provide further instructions at that time.

Let the countdown begin!
