Welcome to Our Monkee Love Auction!


Who are the Monkees? We are a group of very different people with one common belief: We Belong To Each Other. You can read more about us here and here.

Who are Evy and Rocky? Evy is a very little girl fighting a very big disease called cancer. And she's winning. Read more about Evy here, here and here. Rocky is another little girl fighting a big disease called HIV. Rocky's going to win, too. But she's in Africa now, and she needs to get home to her family in Canada to start receiving the proper medical and love treatments. Evy belongs to Jill and Rocky belongs to Tova.

But really, We all Belong To Each Other.

Which is why we're here. Which is why you're here. During the next 48 hours, we plan to raise enough money to send Evy to rehabilitation camp in March and to bring Rocky home to her family in 2011. We're gonna do it. We can feel it.

Please browse the items below, which were donated with love by fellow Monkees. Decide on something wonderful, and add a comment with your bid. This auction will end on Tuesday evening at 8pm EST. On Wednesday morning, auction winners and donors will be matched up to arrange shipping, and payment will be collected via our Monkee PayPal account. All proceeds will be kept public, and I (Glennon) will write the checks to Tova and Jill on Wednesday night.

And on Thursday We Will All Be Very Thankful, Indeed. That turkey's gonna taste so good this year.

Thank you visiting, Thank you for bidding, Thank you for believing.

Love, Glennon, Andrea, and TWMF (The Whole Monkee Family)

Pink Onesie


Three years of life in southern Africa, early mornings of devouring coffee while reading Momastery, a heart of compassion, & an eye for gorgeous fabrics have led me to this auction! My name is Becca & I craft beautiful childrens' onesies & t-shirts made from organic cotton, sourced from Hanna Andersson. The fabrics that I use to construct the appliques (like the bird below) were purchased in the last three years during my travels in Tanzania, Namibia, and South Africa; they are hand-selected, beautiful, & bring stories of far-off people & exotic places a bit closer to home. Even better, the entire creative process--down to the very last stitch--is done by me.
The item offered today is a pink onesie (size 10-24 months), stiched with lime-green thread & featuring a polka-dotted baby blue bird. It is soft, durable, and the perfect feminine addition to any sweet toddler's wardrobe! Please note that in order to retain the quality & condition of the applique, the onesie should always be air-dryed. All gifts will arrive hand-wrapped &
ready to adorn your little one's Christmas tree. Let's start the bidding at $10! Happy shopping. xoxo

Glorious Gifts Universal Peace Symbol Ornament



We are all children of God and we belong to just one race -- the human race. 
It is within our power, both individually and collectively -- 
To bring peace to the world, one person at a time. 

This symbol of Universal Peace features a 7-pointed star -- 
Designed to appeal to people of all nations and faiths. 
The star's light radiates from seven concentric circles -- 
Representing the 7 continents of the earth. 
The center of the star represents the Light of God's Love and Peace, 
Reflecting light in its silver mirror finish. 
As we gaze into its center, and see our own reflections, 
We are reminded, too, that Peace must being in our own hearts -- 
And that we are called to let the Light of Peace 
Shine out to the world every day of our lives. 

Let us give the gift of Peace to all God's people -- wherever they may live. 
Let us be gentle with God's earth -- Let us care for all God's creatures. 
Let us bring Peace to all God's creation. 
May the Light of Peace -- God's Peace -- be our guiding light in all we say and do. 

One People. One Earth. One God. One Peace. ™

Glorious Gifts Guardian Angels



Here is the complete text on the Inspirational Message Card included with this design:

Holy Scripture is filled with accounts of God's Angels doing His bidding
And conveying His will to those who were willing to listen.

How remarkable that so many people throughout Holy Scripture
Not only accepted that Angels existed -- but followed
The directions and accepted the invitations
That Angels conveyed on behalf of the Lord.

That is the challenge to us, in this hectic and cynical world --
To be aware of those instances when God's Angels are among us --
Bidding us to become the Lord's instruments on earth.

That "tiny voice" in our hearts
Is the voice of our Guardian Angel --
Our very own personal messenger from God.
How amazing that God assigned a special Angel
To each of us -- a very personal "Body & Soul Guard" --
Who never leaves our side!

Look into the "silver mirror" finish on this egg
And see your own reflection. . . .And then remember:
Your Guardian Angel's beautiful wings of
Protection are wrapped around you at this very moment!

Jesus Calms the Stormy Sea Ornament




This design reminds us of the famous miracle story when Jesus calmed the stormy sea.


Jesus slept soundly below he deck of a boat while His disciples became terrified of the raging storm. Peter rushed down to wake Jesus, Who was astounded by His disciples' lack of faith.

He stood on the bow of the boat and commanded the sea: "Peace! Be still!" Immediately -- the storm ceased -- to the amazement of the disciples. Jesus asked them: "Why are you so terrified? Do you not yet have faith?" (Mark -- Chapter 4)

Throughout our lives, there are times when we must sail through life's rough waters. How wonderful to know that Jesus is always "in our boat" and will guide us safely through stormy weather.

Glorious Gifts Mystery




In the 13th Century, St. Richard of Chichester wrote:
"Day by Day -- O Lord -- Three things I pray:
To see Thee more clearly,
Love Thee more dearly,
Follow Thee more nearly,
Day by Day."
Each day, all of life is filled with the mysteries
Of the universe and the glories of God's creation.
This design represents the Mystery of the Trinity,
One of the central beliefs in Christianity.
The Clouds represent God the Creator;
The Streaming Sunlight, Jesus;
The snow white Dove, The Holy Spirit.
If we keep our hearts and minds open
To the signs & wonders God has poured into our life,
While embracing "Mystery" as a beautiful Gift,
We cannot help but grow closer to God --
"Day by Day".

As the mother of two boys, she especially likes to catch children’s’ humor, mystery and delight; the special expressions, gestures and emotions parents know and love.

Bubbity Baby Play Mat


buppitybaby™ was founded by Los Angeles mom, Meg Elliott. Living in a
Hollywood cottage, she could never find a comfy spot for her baby girl
to hang out for tummy time, play time, or simply lounging with mom.
Typical blankets weren't thick enough to protect her delicate head,
and they bunched up. Playmats were cumbersome and uninspiring. When
she realized nothing in the baby world was comfortable for her, easily
transportable, and also stylish enough to take on the road, she
designed the buppity™.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The buppity™ is the essential baby play mat that you can take with you
everywhere for an instantly clean, safe and stylish environment!

1 item for auction - style: "FLY BABY FLY".
Winner of auction can choose between PINK or AQUA.

100% Cotton
Back:
55% Linen/45% Cotton
