She really is a sweetie, you know....my mail carrier that is....I love when she brings me stuff and Monday she brought me the new issue of Somerset Studio due out on news stands Nov. 1st!! You are going to LOVE this issue too! I'm sorry I keep going on and on about these magazines but they really are wonderful. Such a bounty inspiration is contained inside!
I posted about the luggage pocket tray last week that's in this issue but didn't show you this art piece that's featured as well. It's a change purse assemblage ~ I used an old change purse and stuffed it with things I love!! I'm going to hang it in our living room too ~ I love having a lot of things hanging on the walls so it looks as if collectors of all things old and wonderful live here.
Oh well, I guess they do!
Here's a peek at the magazine ~ it'll be in the stores November 1st!!
The photos look just a little different that the actual artwork, here's a little look at it:
OMGoodness and here's an article by June Parrish Cookson and her Ink Vanilla studio,
I just love her style!
And look at this feature about Christine Crocker and her beautiful work:
Just a few random shots of how I've junked up my art room:
Whew!! I do have a lot of stuff but oh well, every little thing is a small fragment of inspiration for me so when I enter this little space I'm SURROUNDED and INSPIRED!
I'm so excited, Brent and Emily are heading up from Savannah today for a visit!!! We haven't seen them in so long. Monday was Emily's birthday and she wanted to come visit us as part of her birthday gift, how sweet is that? We're all looking forward to seeing one another ~
Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday sweet friends!!!
xxoo, Dawn

I love the little change purse!Not that I can come anywhere close, but I have my Grandmother's little leather coin purse...she used it to put her "egg money" in. I would love to take it out of my drawer and create something wonderful to enjoy everyday.Thanks for the idea!
Always wonderful to see your creations!

That change purse is an amazing alteration Dawn...you've got the eye for sure!! Can't wait to get my copy of the magazine.

Oh yes- when I was browsing through the latest issue of Somerset, I saw your luggage pocket and thought, "wait, I've seen this before"- and then I saw it was yours. Congrats on being published again and sharing your work with all of us!
Have fun with the kids! Will you and Emily do some creating while she's there?
Congrats on the magazine article! It looks just fantastic!

My oldest will be leaving for college next year and I've been telling him watch out....I can see a chandelier and all kinds of girly things moving right into my furture creative crafting room!Blessings to you...Sherry

What a pretty project! I'm planning to make the advent calendar in the latest Somerset Life that you did! I love that look, and am planning to have a tree in my sunroom decorated with creamy whites and vintage trinkets likt that!
OOOH! Your artwork is AMAZING--as always! Thanks for sharing the mag...can't wait to get a copy!!
Your artroom is so beautiful AND inspiring..must be fun to spend a few hours in!
Have a wonderful visit with your loved ones!
I hope I am able to get a copy of the upcoming issue! I went to three bookstores and was not able to get a copy of the last Somerset Life which was a big disappointment.
I love the change purse piece too! Your art room looks lovely, you should try and get it in the Somerset publication coming out soon, Where Women Create!
Have lovely visit with your family.
Hi Sweetie, I have been busy and away from seeing all your beautiful posts. So I have enjoyed catching up. I can hardly wait for the new Somerset, I will be at Barns and Noble when it hits the stands.
I have been going through my boxes, you know the ones you hide from yourself, I will take some pictures of what I found.
I am off to my craft group...Have a wonderful day...Hugs, Mary

Hello Dawn,
Thanks for posting some pictures of my studio within the pages of this Somerset issue. Now that I have a complimentary copy, very much enjoyed reading your article and the keepsake pocket tray is not only gorgeous but great idea.
And most of all, thank you so much for sending my blog link to Jenny a few months back. Your sweet gesture will be cherished always.
I've linked you on my blog. Your the best.
Cheers,
