Don't you feel that way? As we gather on each other's blogs, we discover those that we are drawn to, those we have similar tastes and it is those blogs that we return to ~ to be inspired and to see things that we know we'll love.
Deborah from The Painted Nest sent me a treasure box, filled with beautiful things that she knew I'd love....things that she loves and KNEW that I would as well! Lace, buttons, papers, pearls, and beautiful fabric pieces....just to be sweet ~
She's just started blogging and is learning the ropes ~ getting familiar with posting photos and creating links. And doing a great job too!!! Deb thank you so much, you are so kind to me and you know that I love each and every trinket!!! I'm so glad that you're here in the land of blog and you know I'll help in any way I can ~
A little peek at the favors for the baby shower!
I just received an email from Susie asking what would you use these paper cones for....the tutorial link for making these is in my side bar. Well......this is what I told her:
The paper cones can be filled with candies on the holidays and would be great for Valentine's Day, little goodies like buttons, lace and ribbon for the seamstress, fill with lavender and hang on a cabinet knob, top with a handmade birds nest with a couple of eggs from the craft store ~ hang somewhere in your home where you need a little spring! Fill with paper shred and include a pair a beautiful earrings on a small card to give as a gift to a friend.....hang them on each chair post and include wonderful chocolates to give to guests after dinner ~
Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday sweet friends!
xxoo, Dawn

Thank you for sharing you idea's about the cones~ I just love them! When we were kids we would fill them with flowers and notes and hang them on special friends doors for May Day. Why is it no one celebrates May Day anymore???

Dawn,Did you get your sock corsage finished? I have been so busy lately and have not blogged much...so I stopped in to "catch up" and see how the shower "planning" is coming! I just booked a Mardi Gras Party Fundraiser for a church so if you have any ideas to share please let me know.....
I love the package of goodies you received...lol...amazing how those little long lost treasures of lace and buttons can thrill us girls! Take care!
Dawn, you have an amazingly lovely spirit and I so enjoy visiting your blog daily. Have a wonderful day!
Great idea for the cones, Dawn. I love cones but because I'm too practical, I'd not found a good use for them. Now I have. Thanks.
Oh Mizz Dawn!
What fun mail,,great treasures, Deborah knows what you like. The soap is sweet,,I need to look at the line.
Have a wonderful creative day!
Thats what I am doing....

The soaps are beautiful! That shower is going to be so special! Emily & Clara are so lucky to have you (as are all of us). Your goodie package is divine. I will hop over & welcome Deborah to Blogland! Always great to have new friends. Have a wonderful day. Be warm we sent you some YUCKY WEATHER!
I feel the same way, Dawn. I knew there were people out there who like the same things that I do, but to meet so many of them is great! Your gifts are so pretty - I'm sure you'll enjoy them. ~Lori
P.S.
I hope this isn't a duplicate comment - I had a problem with it processing.
The paper cones would be lovely hanging on someone's door with flowers tucked in for May Day.
You are so right about being drawn to certain blogs. I've got so many bookmarked now and most of them are sewing related or gardening, or just plain artistic.
I love the soaps; they are gorgeous!
What beautiful gifts from a lovely friend! The cone is just gorgeous!
Pretty presents! I know you will make something sweet. ~Mandy
