First and foremost... thank you to each lady who has so graciously given a donation or donations. From the bottom of my heart I thank you. What a blessing you are.
Donation Guidelines~ I am not able to accept any donation that is in any way related to Halloween, Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, etc.
I am a born again Christian and several years ago the Lord convicted my heart regarding these areas. Although not everyone shares in my convictions, Jesus has made me aware that they are Pagan and that they do not glorify God. This auction site ultimately belongs to Him, as do the precious children at Starfish Foster Home. So, as much as I appreciate these donations and I know they come from the love in your hearts. I am not able to accept them.
Thank you so much for your understanding and for your giving hearts for the children.
God Bless You,

Auction Item # 10 Mei Mei Doll

Gail at Aging With Grace has so graciously donated this beautiful, precious Mei Mei Doll from

A Gift From China in Guangzhou

She is a brand new "Mei-Mei" doll and is hand knit by local women in Shaanxi Province. The doll is about 13 inches in length and has yarn braided hair tied with a red ribbon. She's dressed in a cotton floral red and white print traditional Chinese jacket and pants. Gail's 5 yr. old daughter has one very similar to this one and just loves it. Gail is paying for the shipping to whomever wins the auction.

I just wanted to add that this doll already has a legacy of love.... Giving hearts hand craft most of the items in the store A Gift From China.... the proceeds go to help the orphans in China...

Then Gail must have bought this beautiful little doll while she was in Guangzhou and for those of us that have already been there know how precious each little treasure you find for your little one and bring home is.... the fact that she is donating this sweet doll to bring a smile to another little one's face and to help a little one in China to get their surgery........ yes, a legacy of love...

I am once again humbled by the hearts of those I am meeting in BloggerVille....

Thank you Gail....

This Auction Item has ENDED

Thank you AGAIN to the Belle of the Ball LEA with her high bid of $40.00. Lea seems to be the one to beat with her monopoly of won auction items.... "Lea, are you rich, or do you just have a heart of GOLD?!!!

And thank you Gail for this precious gift for the children. I am certain it will be cherished for years to come.

God Bless You lovely ladies and I know the children are blessed because of you.

More Information on the Auction

There have been some questions as to when the auction items will close. What I have been doing is listing each item. After it has started receiving a lot of bids I am posting a close date that will still give others an opportunity to find their way here and place a bid if they like. Some of the items that have very generous bids I will go back and move the closing date up. When I do this I will always leave at least 2 days for others to still bid in case they were waiting for the closing date.Thank you all so much for bearing with me... I am new to all of this and am trying to figure out the best way to go about everything that will make it fun for everyone and most beneficial to the children.
When the auction item closes and you are the high bidder... Once you have paid for the auction via the STARFISH LINK on the sidebar. Please forward the receipt Starfish emails you to jewelsofmyheart@yahoo.com with your mailing address. I will then contact the person who donated your item and give them your shipping address and email. They will email you to make arrangements to receive the shipping charge if there is any either by mail or PayPal.
If you would like to make a donation to the auction please send me an email with a picture, description and shipping charges.Thank you again friends.... you are wonderful.

Starfish Story...

An older man was walking along a beach when he saw a young boy. Along the shore were many starfish that had been washed up by the tide and were sure to die before the tide returned. The boy was walking slowly along the shore and occasionally reached down and tossed a beached starfish back into the ocean.
The older man, hoping to teach the boy a little lesson in common sense, walked up to the boy and said, "I have been watching what you are doing, son. You have a good heart, and I know you mean well, but do you realize how many beaches there are around here and how many starfish are dying on every beach every day? Surely, such an industrious and kindhearted boy such as yourself could find something better to do with your time. Do you really think that what you are doing is going to make a difference?"
The boy looked up at that man, and then he looked down at a starfish by his feet. He picked up the starfish, and as he gently tossed it back into the ocean, he said, "For this one, it makes a difference."
