That book is too wonderful! I've thought about getting one of the reproductions, but there is nothing like the original, huh? Really beautiful as is your art room!
Love the sweet lil' book. I was sitting in my 6th grade sewing class when Pres.Kennedy was shot...maybe that's why I don't like to sew...OR maybe it was that crabby ol'teacher with the really bad breath...I'd rather have my fingers in paint and leave the sewing to you gals. Such an inspiring workspace Dawn...and Vikki seems to be moving forward with her life without Dad, I hope you received an email from her. Sharon
Girl you have really been putting some great touches in your work room.. It sometimes a blessing how little nudges help us complete what we wanted to do... I may have to have one of the area farmers help give me a push...I am trying to decide where I want to locate a area besides on a table.... I think I am really looking at this point for a shabby table to build around. I just haven't found my starting piece only in my mind.... Precious book.... Think deep down I still have my heart set on a small building but I need to go to plan 2 or 3 real soon....
Isn't that book fantastic? I think that it's time for a reprint for girls today. Little girls haven't changed all that much and I know many who'd love such a treasure. I know that I would've!
I have enjoyed catching up with you. Your mothers day sounds wonderful. And all your goodies are devine as you say. They couldn't have gone home with a more creative soul. Your room is adorable, every thing seem well placed and thoughtfully arranged.
OMG dawn what a wonderful find. COUld ya come do my studio Please... I love yours. SO organized and just breathtaking beautiful. WOW now I have to redo mine. Drats. LOL Blessings,Pea
I love old children's books and I have a nice collection. But this book is really special. The illustrations, the topic, the patterns and fairies too. It is gorgeous and so is your art room. You really did a fabulous job with this creative space. Karen
oh my goodness! What a sweet little book. I love it! I just bought two early 1900-late 1800 childrens books. C'mon over and see them a few post back. You will love em! As usual...love you sweet little blog! Sarah Vintage Lily
that book is absolutely gorgeous. love it.my daughter would absolutely love a copy of that image "she spends hours in the sewing room" as she absolutely loves to sew. your art room is looking great.
What a wonderful find!! I have been wanting to find a copy for many years, since I first saw it in a magazine... Victoria, maybe? I have seen reprints online. I must find myself one! I just love the happy little animated scissors and other sewing things and of course the gorgeous fairy. I also want the cooking one and all the others. I think there's a gardening one, too. Your studio is looking beautiful. Michelle
My name is Dawn Edmonson. I'm a wife for 42 years to the same wonderful man, mother to five amazing sons ranging in age from 40 to 25 years old and grandmother to three precious girls and two sweet boys.
I love to create one-of-a-kind artwork to sell in my Etsy shop. I enjoy keeping up with my blog and am amazed at the inspiration I get from others blogs and sweet comments that are left for me. I am drawn to all things old, with plenty of character and enjoy using small, antique trinkets in my artwork. Being able to create is truly my bliss.
