Marie draws to collect money for children’s hospital
Written by Judith on December 15, 2005 to Marie Fredriksson.
STOCKHOLM - 
Marie and a number of other Swedish artists and prominent people - such as Nina Persson of The Cardigans and Robert Wells - have contributed with drawings of the Christmas tree of their dreams to raise money for The Queen Silvia Children’s Hospital in Gothenburg.
The drawings will be auctioned on December 19 by Bukowski’s daughter company Auktionskompaniet at a starting price of 1,000 Swedish kronor (€110). Auktionskompaniet’s Lena Hafdell believes Marie’s drawing will be the one sold at the highest price. “She is a world famous star and has recently had an exhibition of her own art.”
Marie’s drawing shows, as you can see, a tree with a big heart on the top of it and she has gotten a little help from her husband Micke and her children.

Just name your bid here at TDR, and you’ll be in the auction.

It was sold for SEK 2600. Nina Persson’s was sold for SEK 4200, so Marie’s was not the most expensive one as expected. Still a nice amount though...

Of course Ted didn’t win, he didn’t enter a bid here!!

Marie’s wasn’t the highest but got 2nd place ;) Not bad :P
Anyway, I hope they can buy some nice surprises/presents for the children in the hospital for this money :)
