Spindlenique Boutique Child skirt

This is a Spindlenique Boutique children's skirt created by Amanda Hand. This is made from Old Navy jeans that are a size 6. The skirt from waist to hem is approx. 26" long. This is a seriously cute skirt. I love the detail on the back pockets and around the front pockets.

As I have said before - these skirts are adorable. This is a long skirt, so that makes it very versatile. You could have your little girl wear it with boots and sweater for colder weather, or put flip-flops and T-shirt on during Summer.

Amanda also has an etsy shop showcasing her boutique fashion sense. It is Spindlenique Boutique on Etsy.

*ok ... this is sideways ... tried to fix it, but ... *sigh* it won't correct itself. sorry!!!

~~~~ also, Amanda sent quite a nice collection of skirts from her inventory, a few I will upload to this auction, but others I will put on FB in a mini auction. Both benefit the Burger family. If you are not friends with us on FB already, you can locate us at PhillipCharrissa Browning. The rest of the skirts should be uploaded there by tomorrow evening.

'The Open Door'

This post is for one new copy of 'The Open Door' by J.L. Ragsdale.

This is not a polished, literary work, but rather the very heartbeat of soldiers of Christ out in the battlefield of life-right here in the heart of America. It is a true story of a couple who left their well-to-do California home to establish The Open Door Children's Home and received life's richest reward, that of loving and protecting those who are closest to the heart of God-the children. You'll find yourself struggling to hold back the tears.

This contains 192 pages and is published by Lamplighter Publishing.

This story has IMPACTED our family in a mighty way. We read it as a family for family devotions, and the story paired with the pictures included within it's pages affected every one of us. This is a story worthy of your time - and worthy to be passed down to your children.

This is a travel sized baby wipe container covered and made to look pretty by Jenn Abell. What an improvement on the common wipe container! You will receive wipe container pictured.

Sarah's Treasure Box Necklace

This is a very special piece of jewelry being offered. This is a tile oval shaped pendant attached to a green ribbon and rope with clasp. This necklace is made by Sarah's Treasure Box. This designer has a heart for orphans and continually does fundraisers using her jewelry as a means to help adopting parents raise funds.

This would look great either dressed up, or down. I love fun and funky pieces of jewelry or accessories to put with clothing.

Happy Hartman Birdhouses

Remember this little sweet face? Well, if not - let me remind you. This is Brady. I posted about Brady a couple of times. He was actually in the same orphanage as little Brian (whom the auction is for). However, little Brady was transferred to an institution this summer when he was just 5 1/2 years old. He was placed in a very remote institution with very little hope of ever being adopted and loved.

The Hartman family have stepped out on faith to adopt and rescue little Brady. I ask that you pray for them. You can also visit their blog:

The Hartman's have donated these birdhouses to help bring little Brian home. Upon winning you can choose one birdhouse from the pictures provided.

These birdhouses have been made from reclaimed siding and barbed wire and painted by twelve year old Lanie, who is looking forward to bringing her own little brother home from Eastern Europe.




We had the opportunity to visit the "Happy Hartman Farm" and it was such a blessing. What a joy it will be when all three families, us, the Hartman's and the Burgers can come together with our children and rejoice in what the Lord has accomplished through the gift of adoption and Down syndrome!

Handcrafted Ceramic Plaque

This is for one hand crafted custom quote ceramic plaque by Katie Richards. She makes the sweetest items right from her back porch. You will be able to put in your order for your own plaque, but please give her time to complete the order as it is all hand done. (love that)

Katie has had such a heart for my own little Ivanna and I am so blessed that before we even knew of Ivanna, Katie was praying for her (among many I am sure).
