Treasures FOUND sweet friends!!!

They may be small...but that's what I LOVE!

After owning my own antiques store and hauling big pieces of furniture

in and out of the shop, I so enjoy that now the treasures I search for

are really quite small and lightweight!!

I was able to smash all of these goodies

into my little carry-on suitcase

that I took and brought home from Waxahachie!

Here we go....

first, look at this amazingly old ink pad I found!

I don't care what's inside,

and I know it's all dried up but just look at

the incredible GRAPHICS on the case!!!!

This is my haul from the Petticoats on the Prairie show...

and a few goodies from the antique shops in Waxahachie too!

Precious vintage ear bobs from my sweet friend Troy...

I bought these photos for you...I promise I will scan them in and give them to you soon!

And I just love this wonderful bookmark Lisa found for me!

I have a thing for teeny, tiny buttons...

And look at these wonderful velvet leaves Troy and Rod had....

I think I was foaming at the mouth

when I found these!

Plus they had a wonderful doll clothes pattern too!

Troy knew right away that I would love it and pulled it out

of a bin for me ~ how cool is that?

I have fallen in love with velvet boxes.

This is a small one...but oh-so-pretty ~

Here are my purchases from The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie ~

They were so kind to host our Paper Cowgirl classes....

The metal tags will be perfect embellishments for my artwork,

and just look at the vanilla velvet ribbon....

Gifts from my precious friend Lisa....she so knows what I love!

And last, but certainly not least,

look what I found at the W-mart in Waxahachie....

Blue ticking and TAN ticking too!!!!

I HAD to get a couple yards of each :)

Well, that's my haul sweet friends!

I do have one little bitty thing coming with my tools

that Lisa shipped home for me and
I'll be sure to show you as soon as the package arrives ~

And just a little reminder....

If you'd like to create your own little Peat Pot Baby,

I love the hunt but what I love more is THE FIND!

Wishing you an AMAZING Thursday dear friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn

Want to drool a little?

One of the best parts of any trip I take is being able to SHOP!!!

I just love visiting stores I've never been to before in hopes

of finding even just one little treasure.

And "little" is the key word here.

Having only a carry-on bag since I flew from Georgia to Texas,

my space was limited to take goodies back home.

But the wonderful thing is that tiny is what I love anyway!

Well, I know you don't want me to keep typing a bunch of blather,

here are some pics I took while shopping in Waxahachie, Texas:

The minute we arrived we hit a few antique shops...
some of this stuff isn't old but I loved the displays ~
don't you just love seeing spring arrive in these little shops?
Truthfully, I didn't get many pics here because I switched
into major junkin', huntin' mode!

These photos are from The Dove's Nest....such a gorgeous shop!

This next set of photos are from the Petticoats on the Prairie show Friday evening...
I loved it!!!

I'll share my sweet, little finds in my next post!!

Have a great Spring Tuesday dear friends....

hugs and love,

Dawn
