A little tweaking and some goodies!


I ran across this pretty image a few days ago and thought of you ~
maybe you can use it on one of your Valentines!
I share it most every year.
I can't remember where I found it though...



Remember when I planted the fresh ivy plants about a week ago in these two planters?
Well, they started dying one. by. one. So guess what?
I took them straight back to the store. I had my receipt so back they went.
So after I left Lowe's, I headed to Hobby Lobby hoping they had some
realistic looking greenery on sale.
And guess what, they did!!!




This is actually a garland with wonderful, long tendrils hanging down.
It's pretty long too but it was kind of pricey at 39.99 but
at 50% off, 20 bucks is much better!
I love the color and the textural look of it plus
look how great it looks in my planters!!!

I simply used a pair of wire cutters and cut the garland in half then
just swirled it around the base of my twigs, so easy.




It's a teeny little dining room but I love it.




My place mats are too big for my table but I'll trim them down soon.
They're just vinyl but I love that they have a woven basket look.




I've been busy on the computer today too!
I added a few vintage treasures to my Etsy store.
These pretty dessert plates used to hang in our bedroom.
I think they are beautiful as wall art.




Love these. I call them "giving hands".



A crusty vintage padlock...



A sweet pair of child's shoe forms!




Just a few little pretties!!!
I need to dig around here to find more treasures to let go of ~





Thank you so much for stopping to see me ~

Hugs and love,
Dawn

Oh, Dawn, that image is so sweet! And I love how someone tinted it with the cherry red lips and soft skin coloring. . .I have two or three of the milk glass hand dishes. Just love them! Happy Valentine's Day/Week/Month!

Very pretty! I love the cloche on the table. It all looks very fresh and inviting. I'm a Hobby Lobby junkie -- especially the 70% off aisle!
