To embellish ~

: to heighten the attractiveness of
by adding decorative or fanciful details : ENHANCE

When something sits around in my Etsy shop for awhile

I start taking a second look at it ~

What can I do to change this item....

why isn't it selling?

Should I add a little something

maybe to make it better?

Well, that's exactly what I did!

I had a little flea bag that I should have embellished more

when I created it but hurried to get it listed instead ~

Now I love it!!

Just by added pieces of gorgeous antique lace...and

always beautiful vintage buttons,

this sweet flea bag has so much more character now!

And these sachets were pretty but needed a little something else....

I've added a pretty seam binding bow and antique button ~

just a tiny bit more embellishment to make them special!

Don't you like them better now with that something extra special?

I didn't get around to making anything new this past weekend,

but simply added a few adornments to these handmade goodies ~

You can find them in my Etsy store too!!

We had a wonderful dinner Saturday evening here at the farmhouse

with Brent, Emily, Clara and Chase ~

We all sat by the fire and enjoyed being together....

Noah's been my Christmas elf this year

and has wrapped each and every gift

that sits under our tree!

I used to want everything to be so perfect about our Christmas....

the tree, the gift wrapping, the decorating....absolutely everything!

But I think I've finally realized that it just doesn't matter ~

especially to everyone else (I was the only one in a tizzy!)

I'm just thankful for my sweet Noah's help :)

and that we have a few gifts under the tree

to share with our family.

I hope your Christmas plans are coming together...

that you are enjoying this Christmas season

and are stress-free!!!

Wishing you a very happy Monday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
