Sweet, sweet friends!

I've made so many amazing friends over these past few years.

And the neat thing about having a blog, sharing so much and what you create

folks tend to get to know what you love, what you're attracted to and

simply more about you!

Julie at Red Hen Studios has been a friend for years and messaged

me on Facebook and said she just left a yard sale that had the most

amazingly old glass glitter that made her think of ME!

She left it behind but wanted to know,

"Did I want her to go back for it?"

I replied as fast as I could, "YES!!!"

The whole bundle was only 10 bucks!

But isn't it wonderful how we all get to know each other?

Knowing that someone would love this...

could use that in their artwork, etc.

I love blogging. I can't help it. I just do!

It's such a wonderful, supportive community ~

you all have lifted me

you have encouraged me

and you have always, always cheered me on!

Makes me cry and makes me wish I could meet you all in person!

Here's the wonderful glass glitter Julie mailed me ~

My camera is getting old and simply

can't capture how beautiful it is but

maybe you will get an idea?

Isn't it AMAZING???

Now.

To think of something beautiful to make

to use this goodness on....

With our new soap store all fresh and new to us,

I've been trying to think up a few ideas

for our tiny speckled egg soaps!

Here's something that I came up with ~

I found this wonderful package of 25 white tulle circles at w-mart

and gathered three little eggs inside each circle

then used a few pieces of coordinating seam binding

to cinch each one up!

What beautiful party favors!!!

For showers, for luncheons, for bird lovers...etc.

And can't you just see the beautiful speckled ivory soap

gathered up with ribbon for wedding favors?

We're having a 20% OFF SALE on your entire purchase

for just a few weeks...just type in the coupon code "SUMMER"

when checking out if you should order any!!!

And we did add a few more goodies to the 1925 Farmhouse Goods shop too

if you want to take a peek! 

I hope you had a wonderful July 4th weekend!!!

We were covered in rain, rain AND MORE rain here in Georgia.

I do believe we have mosquitoes the size of small birds right now!!!

Wishing you a wonderful Monday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Thankful for blessings ~

We've had quite a crazy weekend around the old farmhouse!!!

Some things good...and well, some things NOT so good!

It all started Friday with my sweet niece having her beautiful baby girl

and my hubs and DIL Emily and little Clara were going to go to the hospital

to visit and see the new little angel.

I said I would watch baby Murray and knew I would see the new baby soon

so they headed on their way and Murray was so happy he didn't even realize it.

Well a big storm started brewing Friday afternoon and the skies grew darker and darker ~

I knew that I'd better start getting ready for it so I laid little Murray in his playpen
and began unplugging all the electronic devices, TV, computer, etc.

I kept peeking out the window all the time and seeing the pecan trees swaying wildly.

The rain was hammering against the windows so bad I could hardly see outside.

The thunder and lightning began picking up and then I grabbed Murray and little

Ellie the pup and headed to our hallway knowing this was going to be a bad storm!!!

We heard crashing on the front porch, terrible thunder and heavy rain.

Well, after it was all over, in just a manner of minutes, maybe 15 or so?

I laid Murray back down in his little Pack 'n Play and started peeking around

to see if there was any damage...omygoodness ~ the storm totally ripped our

screened door in half!!! Our heavy rocking chairs were all turned over on

the front porch, as were the metal chairs around the sweet old iron table.

Thank goodness we didn't have any giant pecan limbs down as they

can be so weak but I just hated it about our screened door!

I'm just so very thankful there wasn't more damage

than there was.

Here's a photo of the poor thing:

Then Saturday evening we had our sweet Clara over to spend the night!!!

She was so excited!

What's so funny is that she kept asking me for a haircut....

I've cut her hair since she was a wee one and she is terribly

tender-headed and just needs her hair to be shorter so she can

endure brushing and such.

So, we did it!!!

I didn't take a ton off and she was amazingly still for a little 4 1/2 year old!

Here are a few pics, before AND after:

Before:

After:

And Sunday?

Well, it was a day of making yummy pancakes for this

precious granddaughter and relaxing.

I did manage to get a TON of sold goodies

from the 1925 Farmhouse Goods shop

packed up ready for the post office tomorrow though!

It's been a great weekend and guess what???

We've gotten our first few sales in our new

General Store Soap store!!!

I truly am a thankful girl....

Wishing you a beautiful Monday dear friends!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

Simply letting go ~

Having been in the antique business for almost fifteen years now

we have collected so many wonderful treasures!!

And because you know my mentality...

when we would go searching for treasures

I would always, ALWAYS keep some of them for our home!!!

I couldn't help myself ~

and when you love all things

old and wonderful, they call to you.

We filled this wonderful little farmhouse with our things

and are finally letting go of

some of those found treasures!

And it's OK too.

I want others to love and enjoy

what we have loved for years!

So we are listing more and more in our

1925 Farmhouse Goods Etsy...

We will lighten our load here and

maybe you will find

the perfect treasure for yourself!!!

Here are a few pics of what's new and

some haven't even been listed yet:

I can't help myself...these sweet items are so beautiful to me!!!

Maybe, just maybe, someone else thinks so too....

My little corner of the world...

I always love when you stop by here!

So, what's going on in my little corner?

I'm still creating a few goodies,

A set of sachets for a sweet friend ~

she's having a party and giving them as favors for her guests!

How neat is that???

PLUS...
I made a few extra for my Sewmanyroses Etsy shop!!
Here they are if you like a peek:

I've still be searching around the house for more treasures

to list in our new 1925 Farmhouse Goods Etsy shop too ~

I just listed these giving hands in the new shop too,

I love them so much!!

I've been having a bit of a problem with my back...

I believe it's a sciatic nerve issue and it has been awful!

I've also decided, getting old is not much fun.

Wishing you a beautiful Monday my sweet friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn
