Where do you see beauty?

I see beauty in the simplest of things....

Old, aged watch faces ~ the grungier the better.

A recent batch I found....I'm always trying to build up my stash!

An image from an old pattern ~

beautifully old and precious.

I found this image here a long time ago and have always been in love with her.

She's called a Spit Doll....

She is so beautiful to me.

A little doll dress I made then aged....

the aging makes it beautiful.

How about precious old baby shoes...that have been worn out by learning to take new steps.

Stitches on old linens, stained or not ~ they are beautiful to me.

Someone took their time and skill to create them.

When I was younger, everything I loved had to be so perfect to be beautiful.

Now, not so much....

the more aged and distressed something is,

the more I seem to love it!

Wishing you a beautiful Thursday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

I'm thinkin' I have a thing for shoes....

What do you think?

:)

I finished the tiny pretties for Lisa's class!!!
They are now on their way to Texas ~

No, not shoes for me to wear...

just beautiful little shoes that make me smile ~

Have a wonderful weekend precious friends!

hugs and love,

Dawn

Time for a little inspiration...

We took a field trip this past Saturday!

You know I LOVE junkin' but this was a little more like 'tiquin',

that's what Noah called it when he was little :)

We drove to Madison, Georgia to check out their antique stores ~

Here are a few glimpses of things that caught my eye....

See the sweet little ballet slippers? Yep, mine now :)

And I SO drooled over the tiny wash stand!

Do you think I could use these babies in some artwork?

This girl was about 80 dollars, had a bad eye but I still thought she was wonderful ~

I am SO in love with these colors:

This old leather chair was INCREDIBLE!

The old homes were so beautiful. I barely got a photo of this one going 45 miles an hour!!

And what did I end up with besides the precious ballet shoes?

THIS GORGEOUS BABY ENSEMBLE!!!!!

My hubby bought it for me....thank you so much sweetie ~

So what will I do with it?

Simply gaze at it's wonderfulness.....

I'm helping out at the soap shop again this week,

things are really hopping now!!!!

Wishing you a wonderful Monday precious friends ~
hugs and love,

Dawn
