to make this girl happy!
I mean it.
A few trinkets...a few busted jewelry pieces....
a jacked up jewelry box...
and the thing that REALLY makes me smile???
Getting these goodies on the cheap!
I will not pay big for my art supplies ~
they have to be reasonable or I will simply pass them by.
I had to show you my tiny little haul I recently found.
Tiny, yes...but wonderful too!
I found a small, cream velvet jewelry box ~ and I'm in LOVE with it!
Just look....
See the sweet inside?
I've got to transform this wonderful box ~
but right now, I'm lovin' it just the way it is.
A little gathering of Mother of Pearl buckles ~ I'm always looking for these!
And a small, pale pink coin purse!
You can't even tell by my photos the pale pinkness of it :)
Another wonderful find?
Lisa turned me onto these ~
in the bakery dept of our grocery store,
you know where you get your own muffins?
I found these gorgeous, slightly waxed natural sheets of paper....
I just had to grab a few -
(Be sure you buy some muffins too!!!)
(Be sure you buy some muffins too!!!)
I still don't have a clue what I'll do with them but who cares?
I love them!
I love the small things.
Small, wonderful, cast-off treasures.
It doesn't take much to make me happy at all!!!!
Have a beautiful Friday precious friends ~
hugs and love,
Dawn

Oh I do too Dawn! Sometimes I think How can I get excited over all these small things. Especially the old ones. I had to give them up sometimes. Can't wait to see your creation!
Dawn,
I'm dying over your velvet box!!!! Seriously, how wonderful is that? If you and I were shopping together there might be problems.....LOL!
I love that wax paper tip too, next time I'm at the market.........:)
Just like me it doesn't take much to make me happy. My husband flips when I pick up a rusty trinket off the ground and put it in my pocket like I found a hundred dollar bill! I call those "buried treasures" and it's the little things that get overlooked sooo much in shops. Some people just have no imagination! Your little wax sheets make marvelous envelopes because you can see through them....
now i have to go snag some bakery papers!! a whole new thing to play with :-)
Great Finds ~ can't wait till you put Your Stamp of Style on that Beautiful Box.... Have a Beautiful & Blessed weekend~

Cheryl
all so very fun.
Those papers you like from the bakery department... I think you can get them by the box. They are sandwich wrap paper. (for when you figure out some wonderful project where you need lots....)

Isn't it funny what can turn our heads and make our hearts sing? I love everything you shared and would have chosen much the same. I think it would be fun to gather a few special odd bits and (odd) firends together and see what each would make of these special tokens! hmmmm....?
What lovely finds. Your jewellery box is so pretty and what potential there is too. I'm sure as sure can be it will be totally transformed once you have given it your own very special magic touch. The purse is cute too and I'm sure those papers will look wonderful after some of your fun paper ageing techniques and or your gorgious stamping ideas. Thanks for sharing your pretty goodies
Warmest best wishes,
I love your velvet box and I'm glad I have another excuse to buy some donuts.
I think the "smalls" are one of the biggest joys in my life. I used to have a jewelry box like that in a blue color. My own had an insert in it but the clasp was identical. hmmmm...now I wonder whatever happened to that.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend- xo Diana
Love your box Dawn - it´s so pretty as is. Love the rest of your stuff too actually. Looks like some great projects on the way.
Have a wonderful weekend sweet friend.
Oh Dawn, my little heart is going pitter patter for sure!
Gorgeous finds and I agree, I adore the tiny treasures in life.
Hugs, Rhonda
Can't wait to see what you do with your finds.....maybe I'll be in time to see them in your shop???:)

I am LOVIN' that box! I'd keep the lid lining intact - its so lovely. You always find the greatest stuff!
Great post! It is a pleasure to enjoy our little finds and treasures for a while before transforming them. Sometimes I end up keeping an item just the way it is. It's also a joy when you get an inspiration and realize you have just the right thing tucked away!
me too. understand completely. such potential and hope for the future.

Hi Sweets,
That creamy jewelry box just gave me chills.
Lisa
I love that little wallet and those buckles, oh my. What will you do with the buckles, cant wait to see. Di@cottage-wishes
Lovely box!! A friend of mine gave me a glove box with velvet inside since I collect gloves. Did you see the quilt on pinterest with the belt buckles? All cream and lovely. I love coin purses too.
I started collecting vintage powder boxes, they are so wonderful to store things in.
You are definitely a girl after my own heart... I LOVE your finds! Each and every little thing is precious. I know you'll do something wonderful with that waxed paper. :)
