Thinking of you...

As I help with all of our soap orders we are blessed with

I truly am thinking of you!!!

I've not been creative in the studio as my hands

have been needed elsewhere ~

But I am so very thankful for these wonderful orders we have!

We had a MASSIVE order for FIVE HUNDRED toy soap and

are slap dab right in the middle of it,

in addition to our Etsy shop orders as well.

And November is flying by so quickly, I simply can't believe it!!

I recently ordered these beautiful crushed rose petals and the most AMAZING

rose essential oil so I can make ROSE sachets!!!

Not everyone likes lavender so I thought it would be nice

to be able to offer a different kind of sachet.

Now to pull out my fabric and vintage laces ~

they really are so fun to make because each one is different and special!

Just a wonderful old photo I took years ago

of beautiful vintage Christmas ornaments ~

take it and use it!

Thank you always, always for stopping by to see what I'm up to!

Happy Tuesday angels,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Decking the halls!

We were busy around the farmhouse this past weekend ~

first having a family photo shoot here...out behind the barn!

All of my husband's family showed up and we took zillions

of photos ~ in hopes to get that perfect one of the entire group.

The weather was perfect!!

 

Our precious boys...all lined up at the photo shoot!

Noah and Clara finished decorating our tree...they did a wonderful job too!

I finished another bottle brush tree jar ~ but this one is different!

It features three sizes of little trees, each decorated and glittered....

This one has just been added to my Etsy shop too!

Wishing you a wonderful Monday dear friends...

hugs and love,

Dawn

Don't you love finding something you'd forgotten you had?

I love wonderful books. Not so much novels and fiction but the intructional kind of books. The books that teach you how to create certain things or show you ideas how to display your flea market goodies.

I'll admit it too, I have a ton of them. Most have been purchased on ebay, or at discount stores such as Ross or Tuesday morning. Some have been found at Amazon too. I'm always looking for a new one and always looking for a great price.

We've been preparing for Brent and Emily's arrival this next week, shifting things around abit to make them comfortable and give them plenty of room. As I'm glancing over my bookcase, for no particular reason, I noticed a book that I had totally forgotten about!!! Look at the precious ideas inside ~ the author is French and it's really evident in the elegant and simple projects.

After the holidays I am going to try so hard to complete a few goodies for our new granddaughter....

I finally hung up the Advent calendar that I made for Somerset ~ I'm not taking the ornaments off though.....we're just enjoying it the way it is, kind of like a piece of artwork.

I came across a beautiful Christmas card that I had to scan for you ~ I love the typestyle used! Left click to enlarge and right click to save to your computer ~

We still have a busy few days ahead of us this week with the kids moving home ~ but we'll be ready!! I hope that your day is a wonderful one, try to take the time to do something you love ~

xxoo, Dawn
