Dawn...OH SO MANY delightful things....lucky you have MIL that "gets" you...that does not happend too often.
BUT....you have nothing on my "collection" table...my entire dining room table is covered with "stuff"..and this is the second time I have had it loaded with all "things" delightful. That is why I should be able to enjoy your upcoming classes...which I just signed up for today. HOPEFULLY will be able to use some of this stuff finally.

DAwn, I would LOVE to come visit y'all in your wonderful new space! Everything you've shown is something I'd be proud to have in my home or sell in my booth.
I love looking at (okay, more like STUDYING, LOL!) your work table. So much creative genius just waiting to happen there! :-)
Have a great week!
Anne
My kitchen table catches all my stuff and most of the time it is where I craft. I try to clean up after each session, but there are those times when it is not possible to put everything away and get it all back out again...takes up to much time.
Right now the table is filled with all kinds of fruit because we have been juicing and freezing for my diet...I hate to use the word diet, but thats what it is. One of my own making, it will work better for me if I do it my way.
I love all you little tresures, I would love to follow you around for awhile, it would be a education.
Have fun Dear Dawn, Hugs Mary
Dawn amor, I am IN LOVE with everything! :) can you save me one of those lil baskets with some of your lil eggs? paleasze :) Dawn my lil eye spied soo many things on your table that I want :) since we are so far from each other, we can share pics of our treasures to swap :) lol cheaper than me flying down there right :) Besos, Rose

Hi Dawn!
I love all the great things you have for crafting... it's so inspiring! Especially the stamp, it seems to be huge!
I just adore your blog!
Love, Chani
P.S: If you are posting my scans, would you mind linking them back to my blog? Thanks!
I'm new to your beautiful blog ... so many lovely things.
Sweetie, my have you been busy being creative! I love all of the combinations of the old jars, nests and the stamp is wonderful. Even your worktable is beautiful. I cannot wait to see pictures of your space at the antique mall. Too bad I live up north! Otherwise I would be there for the grand opening. Have a great week.
Hugs Sandy

Dawn, i am absolutely loving that scale...the coloring and patina are perfect!!!
Hey Dawn, I love all of your gorgeous treasures! I want to shop at your Antique Mall. I live in Covington. Can you give me the name so I can find it? Thanks a bunch...

Wow!! Such awesome things! I love that rack you found! And that Spring jar is just wonderful!! I will have to stop by Kerry's place and leave her some love :)
A messy workspace is the sign of a creative mind...isn't that what they say? I hope so-that's what I'm always telling my Mr....hehehehe! I come here every day for my inspiration "fix" and you never disappoint! I only wish I could come and shop at your booth. (I love that rack with the clips...I would love to find one. Do you know what they're called?) Thanks for another wonderful post Dawn.
Joyce
Wow Dawn! All of it is sooo wonderful. I love the bird cage, and yes, HL has some really neat stuff right now. That rack for displaying will be filled with your creations soon I know. Here's to a great week! Lisa
First of all, your space isn't messy. I have a post from last week showing my messy sewing room with all the treasures I uncovered that were buried beneath the clutter. I loved your stuff, especially the spring jar that you were showing.
Dawn... you have gathered some wonderful stuff... can't wait to see what you do with it all... as for messy... at least you have it all gathered together in one room!
I absolutely love Kerry's jar... just beautiful!
Have a wonderful week! Dixie
ooooh I love all your new finds !
Dawn,
A messy desk is a good sign of a creative mind....I can't wait to see what you come up with.....
Take care,
Donna
I adore clocks! Thanks for sharing Dawn and Happy Monday!
Hi Dawn, You have wonderful treasures on your desk! I also love what you found for your shop! The clock graphics are gorgeous and the stand is so awesome to display your cards and tags.
Maybe you would like to come over to check out my giveaway in the "One World One Heart" event. Have a wonderful Monday afternoon!
xoxo,
Julia
Goodness me, your work space is an Aladdin's cave of the most gorgeous treasures! Just look at all that lace, and the eggs, oh, and the books, and and and, lololol
Great new finds as well, the clock faces are fabulous.
I am loving all your treasures!!!
Dawn- I promise- that is not a messy desk- I could show you a messy desk or two and a messy table. Even your messiness has style. Can't wait to see you at Antique Griffin - maybe I'll actually run into you- love all your goodies and can't wait to see it all put together. I've been working to get goodies together for my new space at High Cotton- it's exciting.
Hello my sweet Creative Friend. How is it you are always saying what I am thinking. I've been cleaning and reorganizing and those are my very thoughts the whole way through...Being Creative is so messy"
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Hope you are well my friend. It is still and always so refreshing to come over and visit your blog. Like the comforts of HOME.
Smiles to you my dear,
Becky
good day Dawn...thanks for featuring my jar on your blog...I have had so many sweet comments left on my blog! It really was inspired by all that kind of 'mess' on your tables...I guess it depends on how people see it...I see your tables as portholes to beautiful things to come...I'm so glad I discovered your blog and look forward to my daily dose of Dawn. Wish I lived closer so I could come visit your treasures...Cheers...
Oh yea! a mall space, you go girl! The mess is a most necessary thing,,enjoy it, we are. Spring in a Jar,,,love that!

(Compatibility View? What's that? Your blog doesn't like me today as I am having trouble staying put. Oh well...trying again for the third time...I'm tenacious that way...)
Delightful gathering of all the bits and pieces that you love. I enjoyed seeing them all.
Kerry's project..."Spring in a Bottle" is so clever. I can think of at least three other applications. :D
Have a very productive week, Dawn! Holding my breath as I hit the "post comment" button.
Good morning Dawn! This is one of my favorite posts of yours yet! Just beautiful. Your mother-in-love is wonderful and yes she gets you. what a great gift! I love it....love all that you shared. Just beautiful! Hope your day is absolutely wonderful!

Kerry's jar is just darling.Love it! She's a talented girl. And you are an inspiration.
hugs
Your "mess" looks pretty neat to me! You should see my craft room--it's in utter chaos; hopefully, I can get it cleaned up today. Thanks for always providing such wonderful ideas and links! I LOVE the music sheet link from your previous post!
It all looks wonderful to me, sweet lady......just ready to become something great....and a space in an antique mall....good for you...such fun..

I bought a bunch of those baskets from hob lob too! They are so cute!
Dawn, Oh, so many BEEE-utiful things!!!! How do you keep track of everything?? If it's not in front of my face, I don't remember I have it. sigh. And the ideas....how do you keep track of those?
I think my favorite are the clock pieces. No, maybe the baskets. No, the galvanized buckets....
lynn
Oh man, I just love EVERYTHING! You definitely have my office style.
Oh would you look at all of the treasures you have!!!! And your table is really clean, you should see mine! I should join the 12"x12" club, if I have that much space I'm lucky! Marva

What delicious lovely finds.. I'm in awe!
If your workspace is messy then mine is a war zone!
You are so lucky to have such a great MIL..not very common!
Hi Dawn,
Somehow your "messes" are beautiful and mine are NOT! lol Love all your treasures especially the bird nests, clocks and those little baskets from hobby lobby are too cute!!!!!! Have fun fixing up your space!!
Hugs~
Creativity is messy business.
Would you ever consider selling the clock faces through your online shop?

Hi Dawn, I've had success decoupaging laser copied postcards to parchment-type lampshades. Perhaps you could try this technique to get some lovely handwriting around shades for your chippy wood post lamps. They would look fantastic!
Yikes...that's not messy...you should see my studio when I'm busy....by the way, where do buy those packages of eggs? I need a supply of them for my projects! Thanks....Sherrie - pattypickle@verizon.net
ooops.. I gave you the wrong email...it's pattypickle@comcast.net !!! Hoping you can help me find those eggs!~ thanks!
