I have been SO excited to share this new company with you—and I had *cutest* models to help me! Serena and her adorable twins came to visit, and I absolutely love having them in my store. ❤️
A customer told me about Be A Heart, and the moment I saw their beautiful Catholic children’s products, I knew I wanted them at The Ivy House!
We now have the sweetest St. Joseph and Our Lady dolls, Miraculous Medal necklaces and bows, little rosary kits that help children practice their fine motor skills, St. Thérèse of Lisieux swaddle blankets, a wooden Good Shepherd puzzle, and even “Jesus Heals” bandages—so little ones can remember to offer their boo-boos up to Jesus! Those are already selling so quickly that I need to order more! 😂
But the item that originally made me fall in love with this company is Mary on the Mantel! It is a beautiful Catholic Advent tradition—something like Elf on the Shelf, but centered on Our Lady, the coming of Christ, and acts of kindness.
During Advent, Mary wears her little pregnancy bump, and children can search for her each day to discover a new act of kindness tucked inside her bag. Then, on Christmas Day, her pregnancy bump comes off and she holds Baby Jesus, wrapped in His own little swaddle blanket. 🥹
What an incredibly sweet way to help children prepare their hearts for Christmas! I know without a doubt that this is a tradition I would want to do with my own children! ❤️
Come see the entire Be A Heart collection at The Ivy House—and don’t wait too long if you want the “Jesus Heals” bandages! They are going fast!
