The Upper Peninsula Children's Museum hosted "From Your Walls to Mine."

MARQUETTE -- Locals placed their bids Sunday evening on not only original works of art, but possibly pieces that were decorating the homes of their neighbors.

It was the "From Your Walls to Mine" Art Sale--a fund-raiser for the Upper Peninsula Children's Museum.

More than a hundred items were donated, from paintings to pottery, which were either sold through a silent or live auction.

This is the second year for the event, and organizers are hoping to raise around $10,000.
