Butterflies, Skull and Crossbones. Online benefit auction for baby Emily.

The Patriotic Butterfly.

Butterflies signify change. They begin their life crawling around, spin themselves into a cocoon & finally metamorphosing themselves into one of our Earths beautiful creatures. Perhaps when butterflies come to us they are sharing a secret, asking of us a simple task. Slow down, take a moment for yourself & enjoy the beauty in your life. Allow nature to embrace you, accept the amazing transformation that lies before your own eyes. Embrace change!


This 4th of July themed butterfly has been donated for the auction of baby Emily Throop. Auction is active right now & will close on June 30th. The following words are from ::Abstract:: {Indie Mama} Facebook Auction Information about baby Emily. I hope you will click over & support this family.

Emily entered the world through an emergency c-section on May 7th, 2011 at 8:22am. She was born at 24 weeks gestational age. Emily weighed in at 1lbs 5ozs and was 11 3/4 inches long.

She has fought hard every day since, even undergoing surgery on her stomach, having numerous seizures, skin issues, and facing so many hurdles daily. She is a tough girl and so very strong, just like her Mommy and Daddy! She has shown these obstacles who's the boss and is still going strong. ♥

Mommy is even pumping breast milk for baby Emily for when she is ready to have feedings. How INCREDIBLE is that?

You can follow her journey here: http://emilythroopjourney.blogspot.com/

This super cute Jolly Roger pinwheel bow is a second donation that can be found in the Auction for Baby Emily album.

Both of these items are in our Summer Raynebows Etsy shop under Reserved listings for baby Emily.

Lil Miss Ballerina

What little girl in love w monkeys, tutus & pink would not love to have this Lil Miss Ballerina sitting on her dresser?

I created this monkey months ago. She had been sitting on my tv next to her brother Monkey Love (holding a heart). I had been debating for some time if I should sell her. If I should attempt at a sale.

I decided I was going to 'donate' her Trinket, Treasures, Reviews and More on Facebook. Great little page btw! The ladies over there are so friendly & helpful. Stop by & tell them Summer Raynebows sent you. After the Slumber Party Giveaway I had a couple of requests her. How exciting!

We anticipate 2011 to an amazing year at Summer Raynebows. We are excited to launch many of our new products in the upcoming months. Looking forward to meeting new people & developing life long customers.
