All eight of these items have been created for CHERISH by people familiar to collectors around the world.
We are so grateful to them for taking the time to participate in this event.
The idea was born when Harrods gave away free Color Me Beanies this summer with a minimum spend on Ty products in the Toy Kingdom.
Webmasters were invited to decorate a beanie for CHERISH.
During that time some other people contacted CHERISH offering to donate their creation
and these were added to the Color Me Beanies.
Each of the packages can be viewed in greater detail by clicking on the thumbnail photograph above.

Each Package comes with at least one of the limited edition Cherish Collect for Life Xmas 2004 leather tags

Bidding was a very simple process - basically, the highest bid accepted on an item by the close of auctions at
MIDNIGHT GMT SUNDAY 12TH DECEMBER
won that item.
If more than one bid for the same amount was received for an item the earliest bid took precedence.
The idea was to bid once and for the maximum that you were prepared to pay for that item,
but of course you would not know what you are bidding against and could not'snipe'!
Bids were not revealed on the individual items.
