Antique photos, gifts of love and studio goodness!

So, I'm still working my little heart out on the studio...

and making great progress too!!!

Here's a sweetie I've given away before but if you didn't snag her then

maybe you can now:

To save the LARGEST size of my images:

Right click on the image.

Left click "OPEN LINK IN NEW WINDOW"

Then....Left click the image AGAIN.....
you will now have the FULL SIZED IMAGE.

Now you can right click it to "save image as"
and save it to your own computer.

It was a GREAT mail day today!!

I have to share with you what precious Michelle of Petite Michelle Louise

sent me...you know I won a copy of Somerset Life from her recently

and it just arrived today ~ but look at how gorgeous she packaged it!!!!

Do you see the teeny tiny WONDERFUL charm she tied onto my package???

LOVE!

This little thing is so wonderful to me....

Michelle added a few yummy extras that she must have known I'd love...

and great old mens collar still in it's original packaging!

Beautiful old tatting...millinery....lace and just look below at the gorgeous card she enclosed!

Here's the magazine, I showed it to you before but I took the copy BACK that I purchased.

The girl at Michael's was so kind and of course I went back into the store and spent

the money ALL OVER AGAIN on a pad of French General papers! Yeah...I need help.

Here is Michelle's feature in the magazine...absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you so very much Michelle, I love it all so much ~

And I failed to show you another goody that I've received from another precious friend ~

It is a "just because I thought of you" gift from Cindy of Lilly's Lace....

she took my class at Paper Cowgirls in March and is such a sweetheart to me!!!!

How wonderful is this tote bag???

I just love it!

Thank you so much dear Cindy ~ you are an angel for thinking of me :)

 

Now for a few teeny sneak peaks at what I've been up to in the studio....

I have been trying so to get rid of the "visual clutter" of it all,

but you know it's hard when you love stuff :)

I've ripped up drop cloths and created skirts for the metal shelving,

can I get a YAAAAAY?

Who wants to see all that junky stuff on there?

AND I took the lazy way out and just used safety pins

the cover to the thing!

And yes, I'm a freak and love the wrinkled look :)

And a new skirt on the sewing table...can't show you the top 'cause it's

still loaded with tons of stuff!

Something funny I made...for all of you that love Pinterest like I do!

If you don't have an account and would love one,

just email me at sewmanyroses@yahoo.com

and I will be happy to send you an invitation!!!

Since this piece of artwork hasn't really gone anywhere yet...

I decided to add a sweet bird's nest to the lower left hand corner ~

It was lacking something and I do believe it looks so much better now!!!

In my Etsy store...

Wishing you, my sweet friends...a beautiful Tuesday!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn
