I try to do that when I'm treasure hunting for supplies....look beyond the obvious. If an item is intended to be used in a certain way, I look at it and think, "what other way could that be used?"
I found this trim at Walmart and loved the tiny bells that were dangling from it. Their color was wonderful and the size was perfect! I think the trim was intended to be applied to jeans or purses. But I knew those little bells would serve some sort of purpose for me. And for 2 bucks too!

Those mittens are just lovely, Dawn! I love the embellishments you added.
Dawn, checking the sales bins is always great, isn't it! I agree with you that the little bells are going to be perfect on something! You had your "eagle eyes" open!
The mittens look soft and cuddle and precious!

Hi Dawn,
Love your little mittens. They would look so pretty strung as a garland. Glad you had a great weekend with the boys and Clara.
Have a great week.

Dawn,
Thank you for sharing such wonderful thoughts, ideas, and inspiration. I hope your week is filled with wonderful things too!
Thanks Dawn! The image is just a dream with my colors on the blog dear! I set it up as a link here in appreciation. Enjoy your bells! I have just the image to send back to you after I get the kids off to school, (hint: bells on her toes, hee hee) Take care dear! Blessings.
Great article, Dawn! Your artwork really is special and I'm glad you are getting the attention you so deserve! I love those mittens, too cute! And the mirror is fabulous also! You never cease to amaze us!

Love the mittens, Dawn! And those little bells--your imagination knows no bounds, so I'm sure they will end up on something fabulous! I love what you did with the mirror, also! And, thank you, thank you for the Christmas tutorial you sent (such a reasonable price, I couldn't resist)--the detailed instructions, photos, and ephemera included are just so perfect, I can't wait to begin the project! Glad you had a fun Halloween--the 5 grandchildren we have living near us all arrived for a visit that evening--I'll have to post photos--you are right, this is truly a month for thankfulness right now!

Dawn, Thank you for including me on your post today! I am blown away by the nice words left on my blog. You have such an amazing following and it was kind of you to send them my way.

i always find the best things when i am not looking for something specific...i have learned not to shop that way...as i am usually disappointed to not find what i am looking for...
Dawn,
As always you have soothed my spirit and tweaked my creativity! Thank you so much for all you do to encourage us. Hope all is well in your world.

Hi Dawn, Jenn's interview with you was wonderful, I knew it was you when she showed the bird platter on her "teaser" post. You always amaze me with your creative way of looking at things. And yes, we do have similar tastes. Birds and nature are some of my favorite things. The photo she had of you was just so pretty!
Hope you are having a great week.
Debra
Hi Dawn, I just finished reading the interview with you, it's so great to learn more about you. The more I learn, the more I think you'd be just an incredible friend to have...I mean, I already consider you a friend, but one I could see and talk to and touch...you know what I mean! I wish you weren't so derned far away!!!
Hugs a'plenty,
Anne
You have been really busy making mittens and they turned out so sweet! I loved reading the interview and thanks for the link to the ornament tutorial! Have a good night, dear Dawn! Hugs, Julia
