Ugandan Messenger Bag {Green and Teal}
Minimum Bid: $12.00
Beautiful Handmade Ugandan Messenger Bag with zipper pocket.

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.
