DONATION Guidelines~

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,
Daleea

This is my latest Lady Peep Design...

MeiLin's Garden

It is a size 3T... Now, I have to confess..... as I was making this for the auction... there is so much fabric and so many hours and hours it took creating it. (I am very slow at the sewing machine and I have to do French Seams because my machine doesn't have a finishing stitch so it basically is like sewing the garment twice.) Anyway, by the time I had it finished I thought to myself that I would not be creating another one of this design! Then I had Hannah try it on..... I WANT ONE TOO! Honestly, the pics don't do it justice. It is absolutely darling on. Peep must have one too. lol... The top can be worn as a dress or over the pants. The little mock apron has a little frog button on the bottom corner. The knots on the bib can be untied and adjusted to make shorter or longer. The pants are not full length... can be worn as such or if your little one is taller as capris. I don't like to toot my own horn ladies...... But this little number is TOO TOO CUTE!

shipping will be $3.50

Happy Bidding!!!!!!! It's been very quiet at the auction so hopefully more people will make their way here and join in on the fun!

This Auction Item has ENDED

Paula is the winner with the high bid of $60.00

Thank you Paula for all you have done to make a difference in a child's life!

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."
