Congrats, Isabel! She was the winning bidder at $125. And thank you to everyone who participated!

Nie Nie day is here! I am auctioning off custom stationery to help raise funds for the Stephanie & Christian Nielson fund. Please visit her sister’s blog and Nie Recovery for more information.

Aren’t silhouettes so chic, and so Nie?

The lovely Nielson family.

You are bidding on 1 custom boy or 1 custom girl stationery set of 20 notecards and envelopes. Prize is valued at $70. Winner gets their silhouette of choice (son, daughter, pet, or even you!) along with name printed on A6-size (4.75″ x 6.5″) folding cards. Blank inside, so you can send a note to grandma, mail out thank you notes for birthday party gifts, correspond, etc. Coordinating envelopes included. The set comes packaged in a velvet-lined, vintage children’s puzzle box. Girl stationery set includes extra fuchsia satin ribbon to tie around each card.

Will you choose boy?

Or, girly girl?

Vintage = old = slightly worn. Just FYI!

To bid, fill out the name and email fields in the comments section and post your bid amount. Auction opens at $25. Please place bid increments in whole dollar amounts.

Auction will go until Sunday midnight, PST. I will contact the winner shortly after the auction to set up payment to go directly to Stephanie and Christian’s fund via Paypal, and also to obtain a photograph to use for the silhouette image.

Feel free to email me at jenn@ambrosiagirl.com with any questions. Happy bidding!

A few posts down, I had blogged about Stephanie Nielson and husband Christian, who were both involved in a terrible plane crash about a week ago. Like so many others, I’ve been heartsick over this tragedy and its implications on their family. And, like so many others, I want to help.

Design Mom has issued out a call for us bloggers to hold silent auctions, where proceeds will go to the Stephanie and Christian Nielson fund. The plan is to kick-off the auctions this Thursday, which Design Mom has officially declared Nie Nie Day.

So without further ado, here is a preview of what I’ll be auctioning:

Custom Boy or Girl Silhouette Stationery Set
(Inspired by Stephanie’s famous mantle)

Boy design

I have still yet to design the girl stationery set. I’m thinking something floral. Bright colors. Definitely with a retro influence to it.

Winner of the auction will receive 20 A6-size folded notecards with their child’s silhouette and name printed on the front. Inside will be blank. Set will come with 20 coordinating envelopes (orange for boy, I don’t know yet for girl).

The entire set will be packaged in a very cute, vintage children’s puzzle box. Inside of the box to be fabric lined, by moi.

Make sure to come back here Thursday for product photos and to join in the silent auction. Design Mom will have a running list on her site of other bloggers auctioning their wares. If you still don’t see anything you like but would like to help out, visit Stephanie’s Benefit Page.
