Rambling on but always wanting to share ~

Seems some days my posts just have to be "whatever" posts.

No particular point...nothing wonderfully new or creative to share,

but yet I still want to post and say hello to you dear friends.

The photo below is one I've always loved.

Our oldest son Brent went to college at Savannah College of Art and Design...

we would visit occasionally and this is a photo I took

during one of those visits.

It was taken in the Bonaventure Cemetery ~

just look at the age and patina on this beautiful monument.

A few free vintage images for you to print to make artwork or even simple cards ~

The photo below is one I took in my old studio and I just love it!

It's of an old little girl's crinoline I had hanging from the ceiling.
Don't you just love how the light shines through it?

Do you remember these?

I scanned the sweet bird and bunny from a vintage coloring book

and cleaned off all of the coloring some little child did ~

Wouldn't they be precious embroidery patterns for Redwork?

Well, that will be the end of my rambling for today...

Wishing you a beautiful Wednesday sweet friends!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

Sweet friendship, a button bottle & a trip!

Isn't this the sweetest image? I picked it up a few weeks back at Scott's Antique Market and the date on the back says 1900! I scanned it in for you ~ just click to enlarge then right click to get the list of options to save to your computer then left click again on "save to computer" or "save image as" and then you can rename it
and file it away ~ Don't they look like they're friends?

I'm working on several projects that I can't share with you right now and it makes me crazy! But I have to press on and know that I can share them with you later . . .

I did manage to squeak out a wonderful button bottle tonight with a pretty French label that I applied. This is from the French images book a few posts back. I aged it a bit with my brushed corduroy distressed ink pad and a soft cloth. I've added a snippet of lace and sparkle with a piece of an old earring.
Lastly I filled it with pretty vanilla and pearl buttons ~

I'm sure this old bottle thought it's purpose and use was over. Little did it know it would eventually be so gussied up!!

And the trip is to . . . Savannah!! We are leaving this evening to visit our two oldest sons, Brent and David and Brent's girlfriend, Emily. All of us are going too! Dennis and I, Brad, Chase and Noah . . . and of course Ellie!!! We are so looking forward to seeing them all and having all of our family together. I'll still blog too, because they all know I love it!!

Feel free to use the images below as well. I took them last year at Bonaventure Cemetery ~

Wishing you a wonderful Friday ~ xxoo, Dawn
