I do love strange things....I admit it ~ a forgotten bird's nest, rusty things, tattered books....they're not your typical items that are collected.
This past weekend my husband's parents came over for a visit and my dear mother-in-law brought me a few goodies! A sweet bird's nest that I've placed in this gathering basket and added a few fake eggs to ~ just look at the beautiful skeletal leaves that are tucked all around, I love it!

Here are a few more gifts as well....a sewing machine drawer and her own mother's train case! I think I'll use them both to store supplies in ~ much better than a plastic container, don't you think?
Plus a bag of old, stained linens that I simply adore ~ she knew that holes and stains are OK in my book and of course I love them! They're freshly laundered and ready for whatever comes next ~
My favorite piece is this one, the flowers and white leaves are so beautiful ~
Seeing the beauty in the old, tattered and worn is truly a gift and
I so appreciate my sweet mother-in-law for thinking of me :)
Sweet Noah has had a WONDERFUL first few days of school ~ it's a big step going from elementary to middle school but it helps when all your friends are with you!!
And here's my favorite photo of Ellie just for Kimi ~ I would be honored if you would paint her portrait!!! My email address is: sewmanyroses@yahoo.com
Thank you so much sweet friend!!!!
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday dear friends,
xxoo, Dawn

How wonderful that your MIL knows you so well and how special that she shared all these beautiful things with you! The sewing machine drawer and the train case will be perfect for storing things in ~ definitely better than plastic!
Noah looks very happy about school and his smile reminds me so much of yours (in your blog photo).
Your Mother-in-law does know you well:) I really love that sewing machine drawer:) I loved your comment yesterday and no, I do not know what you were thinking! I didn't realize they were all so close together. You are Super Woman for sure! I am so glad Noah is enjoying middle school. What a cutie pie he is! Love You! Jamie
First, I have to say that your Noah is too cute! I remember when my kids made the move from elementary to middle school; they seemed more grown up some how {sigh!}. Of course, now they are 22 and 19, but I still look at them at see my "little" ones!
How nice that your MIL brings you little treasures! It must be funny if she says to others, "yes, I have these holey linens and this old sewing machine drawer for my DIL". That must raise a few eyebrows! LOL!
that is so wonderful that your MIL gets you and shared those treasures with you...i know you will put all of those pretty linens to good use...can't wait to see what you do Dawn!!!
i'm glad to hear that your sweet Noah is enjoying school:)
Such a blessing to have a MIL who understands you and showers you with gifts. And of course, her greatest gift was your DH!
Dawn, those linens are great. Nice MIL you have! Thanks for showing them to us. Sally
Mother in laws are either wonderful or ...... you obviously found a KEEPER! I know you bless her life with adventure and a sweet spirit. What a blessing for you to have such loving inlaws. Lucky you,
Sharon

What sweet pic's of all that you love. Thanks Dawn for for you kind words, always.
And hay that nest would look great in my new bathroom... not to worry, I have one...LOL.
It is amazing how much we have in common, and
similar taste.

All sweet things for sure...especially NOAH!!!
Send your MIL to me asap! LOL Loving that birds nest and train case especially!!

Love the stuff, I know you will find a reason for every little thing. Noah looks so handsome, he looks ready for his big day. Middle school is a big step...not always a easy one.
