Little gestures by friends can make an ordinary day turn into a great day!
Joy, a sweet friend from The Plum Tree, contacted me to let me know she left me some old papers at the store.
Of course, if it's paper and it's old, I'm there!!!!
So, I stopped by The Plum Tree today, which by the way is looking OH-so-incredible with their fall and Halloween displays!
Anyway, this is the precious bundle Joy left me ~
Now tell me this, which of you would be
THRILLED to see this waiting for you as a gift???
Old, tattered, stained pages of books and sheet music.....
it just warms my heart!!!
Thank you so much Joy, I love every bit of it ~

Dear Dawn,
I love waking up in the morning and reading your blog. I just gives the day a great start and lifts my spirits. Thank you so much.
Congratulations on a wonderful gift day! It sounds like you had a great day of it and such cute things too.

Dawn,
What lovely gifts you have received! I adore the stack of books tied up in twine and would have been just as thrilled as you! Thank you for mentioning my little spot in Romantic Homes! I am so excited for it to come out...although I get mine it seems always after everyone else has theirs so I probably won't see it for a month or two! Glad to know it's coming out soon though...
Oh Dawn...what loveliess you receieved..but you know, I think no one deserves them more than you...that and much, much more. I tried to leave you a comment on here last night..but my eyes just wouldn't focus and I realized I was writing gibberish..so I thought I better wait till I was more awake and could make sense of what I was thinking :) Did it work? lol Lil Miss Clara in that last post you did, is such a divine child...I still wanna kiss (bite) her cheeks~
Have a wonderful day Dawn..May many more lovelies come your way :) Rose
Wow, some days are just full of "fabulosity" and sweet friends. Love your stack of old books!
Debra
You were showered with love and gifts. A special day indeed.
Love the little hand stitched piece is precious and the books all tied up with twine look so good all together I'd have a hard time separating them
xo,
Carole
~So glad you are enjoying everything! (Also, so glad it arrived safely.) The soap came from Sharon's shop ~White~. Love your other sweet things, too! ~Mandy
Looks like a wonderful day!! Also congrats on the new Somerset Studio! Loved your article.
What special delights you have been given. Above all else, the friendships that have come along with those gifts.
What wonderful gifts for you and thank you for sharing the links. So happy to hear Alice's Painted White is in Romantic Homes ~ she is truly one in a million and I hope to see her praises featured many more places in the future. Beautiful old books, the photo is gorgeous.
Charming new bed...wow a deal!!!!!It's always a toss up between working (Creating), and decorating....Just one big cycle that keeps me happy, cute goodies, xoxo~Kathy@ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
I just wanted to tell you, that little picture you have, of the girl and her doll... heart wrenching!! It's so adorable. :)
Beautiful blog by the way. I also like your daily inspiration. My 9 month old's middle name is Blyss, and she truly is complete happiness!
