I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was pretty relaxing ~ cleaning up abit and staying home mostly. I did get out Saturday evening to take my 10 year old to Blockbuster to rent a video game and look what I found!!! I've seen the movie but I've been wanting to buy it and this is one of those previously viewed dvds so I was a happy girl!! I can't wait to see it again ~ it's such a wonderful story of a woman doing what she loves and delightfully prospering in doing it!!
My husband made a quick trip through a local antique mall and look what he bought for me!! The sweetest pair of baby shoes still in their original box ~ you think he knows what I love?
He also found this wonderful antique eyeglasses case knowing full well that I will incorporate it into a piece of artwork ~
And then he bought the most amazing group of old locks ~ don't you think?? Some we will keep and some will end up in artwork!
It's so funny that as I get older I find myself seeing beauty in everyday items. Something so simple as one of these locks. The craftsmanship, the age, the patina ~ all add up to such beauty to me. Wishing you a beautiful Monday ~ find beauty in the little things.
xxoo, Dawn

How terribly sweet for him to know you so well~the man MUST be in love :) waiting to see the beauty you bring forth from these preloved items!
Wow! Does he have a brother?? This is sooo sweet of him. He has a good eye - did you train him right or is he just this good at finding treasures?
I've not heard of the movie but if I see it, I might just pick it up & watch - I love "period" pieces!
Have a great Monday and be so very grateful for your thoughtful hubby, OK?

Dawn,
Have you seen "your shoes" in the latest Somerset Studio magazine on page 146? You are so talented! Hope you and your adorable husband have a great week!
Some women get excited about diamonds and pearls, but I see that your dear hubby has your number! ;>
Now I must find that movie. I really want to see it.
Oh I love that movie too. What a darling pair of baby shoes. Oh my goodness, I love that kind of thing. The locks are so cool. It will be fun to see what you come up with for artwork. Have a pleasant day. Kathi

He went to the antique store on his own? WHAT?!?!?! That is AMAZING! I know you are grateful for such a man, but now that you made this public, you might want to put a couple of those locks on him! :) J/K But this is true...

Oh my gosh, your honey did really well. I love the shoes, the box too. About the movie, I love this movie.I don't have it. It is beautiful to watch, a wonderful love story too.
I am on the mend, but have not really had much energy for anything. It has been a long cold spring. I am so ready for warm.
I have been buy to see what you are doing, and as ever you have such wonderful ideas.
I know you are having fun with all this new found treasure.
Hugs, Mary
How did you get your hubby to buy you things like that? Mine has been trying to get me to get rid of things, lol.
That is one of my favorite movies! I think the shoes are so sweet and I love the wonderful old locks too!
