Kiddie Carrier Sling

(Handcrafted by Kenlyn of Maevy Blue)

"Right after I had our first child, I started looking for a baby carrier that was compact, comfortable, and that I could fit into my purse. Nothing really fit the bill, or was really expensive, so I started working on my own. I named it the Kiddie Carrier. I sold it at LLL meetings for several years and then became pregnant with Maeve. The Kiddie Carrier idea was put back into the closet and forgotten about. Until now... Sure it isn't as fancy as some of the others on the market, but it is sturdy, durable and the padding around the tummy and straps make it comfy. My husband and I both wore it for a long weekends in NYC, carrying a 12 month old. We were both able to wear it by simply pulling in and out on the straps. It fit both of us perfectly and then when we were done, it rolled up and fit right back into my purse. I have friends who have used it while nursing, and others with older children as a backpack."

Kenlyn and her family are fundraising for the upcoming adoption of their daughter, Scarlett who currently is in China, through the sales of these LLL approved slings. Support their adoption and check them out here! http://www.etsy.com/listing/59621523/kiddie-carrier-sling-baby-holder-lll

Jiayin Designs Pendant

(Blessedly donated by Kelly Raudenbush)

Kelly has heartfully donated bid winner's choice of either a Name or Character Pendant from Jiayin Designs (jiayindesigns.com)

The Chinese word jiayin means “good and beautiful news.” What a wonderful way to describe when you first receive your child’s referral and see his or her face and read his or her Chinese name for the first time. Jiayin Designs was created to provide a lasting treasure of that good and beautiful news through custom sterling silver charms made by a jewelry artist in Beijing, China just for you. This artist hand cuts Chinese characters from a sheet of sterling silver and makes them into charms that are one of a kind and stunning.

Pictured are just some examples of the charms. Check out the custom word charms here and the custom name charms here.

Heirloom Hand Tailored Bishop's Outfit

(Blessedly donated by Diane McCaslin)

Custom Sewn Heirloom Outfit:

Diane McCaslin contacted me in August JUST as I was launching my own sewing ministry (Ruffled Feathers Company) with something she felt calling her heart deeply--her OWN sewing ministry! How incredibly cool to see God moving hearts to be his hands and feet with the passions and talents HE has blessed us with! And then linking us together to work for Him!

Diane is a beautiful seamstress with a deep heart for orphans. She has offered up this beautiful creation of a custom sewn Bishop's Heirloom Outfit to The Rippee's auction hoping it will bring in a wonderful amount for their adoption fund.

The dress design is a Bishop styled dress that includes adorable bloomers made with coordinating 100% cotton Art Gallery fabrics. The fabric has a high thread count and has a lovely "hand" as is said in sewing circles. If the winner has a daughter who is beyond the "bloomers stage," she will gladly alter the style to suit a school age child.

If you don't win the bid on this adorable item but are interested in supporting Diane in her sewing ministry you can contact her through her blog:

dianemccaslin.blogspot.com

Currently her profits are supporting China's Orphans as well as her local church building project!
