"Love", "Where you live should not determine if you live" Tee Size Small {by Erica Shubin of The Road Less Traveled} 

My pictures do not do this tee justice. It is a very high quality fitted tee size small with a powerful message supporting adoption and Africa. I have a tee that I bought while Erica was fundraising to bring her daughter home from Ethiopia and I LOVE my tee. It's the best fabric and comfortable fit.

Beautiful Handmade Fish Purse {by Jaiyin Designs}

Fish Purse

Donated by Jiayin Designs, to celebrate good and beautiful news

In China, the fish represents wealth and prosperity; the actual word in Chinese for fish also translates to “abundance”. The carp is noted for its strength and bravery because it swims against the current. And, according to legend, the carp turns into the revered Celestial Dragon when it makes a final leap over the rapids.

Celebrating that symbol, this purse is handmade in Beijing with fabrics from Dali city in Yunnan province. Winning bidder may choose the main color of the bag depending on what is in stock at the auction end.

Minimum Bid: $15

Beautiful Handmade Doll {by Daisy Girl Dolls}

Beautiful Handmade Doll {by Daisy Girl Dolls}

"This adorable 17 inch (43cm) handmade doll, dressed in her bright and cheery floral dress is sure to be a little girl’s new best friend! Her cheerful face is my own one of a kind design, which makes her truly unique! She is made from a cotton/knit material for easy care and softness. I have added a wafer thin lining to help keep her shape and to prevent stuffing from coming through. She is machine sewn together using a thick, quilting weight thread and shorter stitch length for strength & durability. Her stuffing opening is hand stitched closed using the same quilting weight thread, doubled over and knotted with a professional seamstress technique. Her stuffing is 100% hypo-allergenic. Her hair is soft 100% cotton yarn, also triple stitched by machine to form her part. It is attached using 3 strands of thick hand embroidery thread down her part and attached to the sides of her face. Her hair flowers are also hand sewn on. Her dress is made from 100% cotton. The seams are all triple stitched for durability and lots of playtime!"
