A Little Housekeeping

Thank you again everyone who participated in our Silent Auction to help bring our little guy home. There were so many people whose combined efforts and generosity made this successful, so thank you again! 

 We are still waiting on a few people to email me their mailing addresses and make their payments via Paypal (on the right hand side) so if you haven't had a chance to do that please do so as soon as possible so your items can be shipped to you! 

 If you are a winner who has paid and gave me your address then your items should be on the way to you soon. Please give it a couple weeks and if you haven't received your item(s) then please email me and I will follow up. 

 If you are one of our Amazing Donors thank you again for sending out your donated items as soon as possible. You should have received an email from me with your donors contact info and mailing address, if you didn't or have any questions please email me. 

 Thank you again to everyone involved we are so much closer to bringing our son home. Pray for us in the upcoming weeks/months as we are waiting on a court date now. We hope we can get our little guy home as soon as possible and give him all the love and medical attention he needs. 

 Blessings, 
Christen and Josh

Red Short-Sleeve MILITARY Applique Tee with Tank... (size 2T).

Minimum Bid: $6.00 

Kids love wearing a tee that has a military theme. It's great to wear to military appreciation days, parades, deployment homecomings, or just for every day. Works well for both boys and girls. It's a Rabbit Skins brand size 3 t-shirt, but fits like a 2T.
I created an applique of an image of a tank out of a US Marines print fabric and heat-sealed it on a short-sleeved solid red tee. I then stitch down the patch so it's very durable, but when washed, will have slightly ragged edges to give it that worn-in look that kids love. Made in a      pet and smoke FREE home studio. Each Heritage and Heart item has a boutique label sewn on the lower left side.

Light Blue & White Seersucker Adjustable Baby/Toddler Tie


Minimum Bid: $5.00 
Shirt not included

 Little boys will love wearing this ties because they are miniature versions of Daddy’s ties! 

 This light blue and white seersucker tie is sized for 2t-5t. Tie is made of 100% cotton and is fully lined with white or other solid coordinating fabric. Cotton fabric means that this is machine washable in case of an accident. It ties with an actual knot and the neck strap is fastened with velcro, so it is fully adjustable: no clips here! It even has a satin tie tail holder on the back - just like Daddy's ties! It is easy-on and easy-off for those days when you're trying to dress a wiggly baby or an active young man. 

 Would be great for portraits, church, holidays, and weddings as well as regular everyday wear for your dapper young fellow. Also a great prop for photographers.
