It feels so good to create something new!!! It's a simple piece but I'm pleased with how it turned out. Simple pressed baby's breath, nubby linen fabric, an old album page, pages from a botanical book, jewelry, twigs & twine, my favorite quote and of course a piece of vintage lace ~ all gathered together on an 11" x 14" canvas ~

The pressed flowers did really well too.
There were a few milky areas that I aged a bit with a soft cloth and brown ink ~

Here's the sweet gift that I received in the mail ~ a mini journal from Eileen of Star's Fault!!! I love her work and had entered her giveaway. Well, she sent everyone that commented a treasure!!! Thank you so very much Eileen, it's just beautiful!
The boys are out of school this week for spring break and I've just loved staying up late!
I can't believe it but I just checked my posts and I'm getting really close to 900! I'll be sure to have a giveaway to celebrate ~
Wishing you a great Tuesday sweet friends ~
xxoo, Dawn

Hi Dawn!
900 posts is exciting!
Love the new room, the new art, and the pics of the new grandbaby - keep 'em coming!
The new art is precious. Love the quote, it is beautiful. I didn't stay up late, but woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Smiles,
Pat
Beautiful art....it reminds me of an antique herbarium and also a little bit of the art of Cheryl Kuhn. Love baby's breath, the entire look of it and the quote is worth remembering!
Be well, Laura
Good morning, Dawn!! Thank you for the kind thoughts you sent my chilly way!! Love the gorgeous artwork! I love the subtlety, with more texture than color; it, and the beautiful quote, speak volumes, quietly!!! Have a wonderful day, my friend! Blessings, Marji
