One last little thing...

I had such high hopes to make so many wonderful things

this Christmas season but it just didn't happen.

There were so many soap orders to keep up with

(which truly have been a blessing)

and the days seem to be flying by like lighting!

It's always like this when Thanksgiving is late in November though...

I did manage to finish my altered bottle!

I'll share a few photos with you. This bottle is an old one

and I created a stopper using a glass knob and a cork!

I used one of my favorite labels on the front,

a little vintage wedding lace...seam binding and of course

a beautiful vintage rhinestone bobble to finish it off!

It's been listed in my Etsy store if you'd like to take a look ~

I just SO, SO HAPPY about my sweet friend Tammy's recovery!!!

She's totally off the ventilator now, breathing on her own.

She does have a simple oxygen mask on and is slowly

but surely getting over being sedated for an entire week.

She's communicating with her family and this is such a wonderful thing!!

Thank you again for your precious prayers...

we totally give the Lord all of the glory!!!

Have a beautiful Wednesday sweet friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

I wanna be the old-clock-face-antique-lace-old-baby-shoe-&-baby dress whisperer!

Do you think I can be?

If sweet Karla can be the gorgeous rhinestone jewelry

and amazing vintage hat whisperer....

maybe I can!

Of course, I may need to add old sheet music,

old dilapidated books, old glass jars and

of course, old buttons to my list too :)

By the way, did you know one of my favorite books is
For the Love of Old?

I wanted to share with you a few goodies I've found recently ~

Look at the GORGEOUS graphics on this pocket watch face....

Watch faces like these are my FAVS!!!

I found this old bottle a while back and it had some kind of red dye inside ~

after wrestling with the rusted old top for days and days,

I finally got it off and cleaned it up....

don't you love the shape?

Plus, I received the sweetest gift in the mail!!!!

My dear friend Colette of A Bird in The Hand

sent me the most precious care package!

Folded gently inside of this beautiful dresser scarf

was a delicate embroidered baby slip....

and a length of gorgeous old lace ~

you SO know what I love dear friend.....don't you? :)

Thank you so very much sweet angel!!!!

I love it all Colette!

I won't talk about the you-know-whats I'm still working on.....

they're becoming a subject that I'm even tired of hearing about ~

kinda like the peat pots?

I hope you have an amazing Tuesday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
