Just sharing a little goodness ~

 

How precious is this sweet little girl?

I found her online and had to share her with you!

My son gave me this wonderful framed poppy print

but it wasn't quite my style.

He didn't care if I altered it,

so I decided to change it up just a little bit.

I had a few more very old herbarium sheets that I hadn't framed so

I covered a piece of cardboard with some lovely fabric

that would coordinate with them first.

Then I placed them as best I could.

I don't know, I would have rather not have them overlap but oh well,

I wanted to include them all.

I also spray painted the frame a pale bronze color.

I really love it now!!!!

I hung it in our den over the desk.

These pages are from 1898 and should be displayed.

Not tucked away in a drawer.

We opened our pool in May but look how AWFUL it was!

Thank goodness our son Brent, his wife Emily

and our son Noah helped us.

After a good scrubbing, tons of chemicals it is wonderful now!

It has been so, so terribly hot here in middle Georgia this summer.

We're all so thankful to have this pool to cool down!

I scrounged around our house this summer

and found TONS more frames so I proceeded

to print out so many more images that I love.

Now to find places to put them all!

I had a fun junkin' day with our son Brad

and found these beautiful treasures!!!

I'll be making a couple of floral arrangements

in those birch bark cones. Maybe to go in our new guest bedroom.

Just look at that yummy antique lace!!!

I've been working on decorating our master guest room too.

I still want to add SO much more artwork.

It really is a work in progress.

Oh...and I had my left hip replaced June 20th

and I can't EVEN believe

how much better I can walk now without pain!

Hopefully now I can get back to making something pretty.

It's been a rough couple of years for me.

I hope you are doing so good.

This year is flying by!!!

Be sure to cherish each and every moment

with those you love.

Thank you always for visiting me here!

Hugs and love,

Dawn

Such a fast year!

Can you believe we've been here at the farmhouse for a year??

What a fast year! Of course, they all seem to be fast to me now....

It's taken me quite awhile to get this house just the way I had envisioned it

but that's OK....I'm finally getting around to things :)

I've still been working on straightening up my studio and have to share a few more pics...

I hope you don't mind seeing more ~

I'm just so proud to see the floor I could scream!

I finally hung this sweet shelf over my sewing machine and

added more trinkets and treasures.

I love seeing beautiful things in the studio,

these little treasures inspire me and of course make me smile :)

I finally hung my bird canvas too!

Do you see it?

THE FLOOR!

I also finally hung a beautiful old bird poster too ~

Just more pretty stuff to look at...

Treasures from friends and treasures found ~

While moving things around I've discovered stuff I even forgot I had!

Beautiful linens that will work perfectly in the new guest room.

I even hung a few more things in the living room too!

I bet you thought I couldn't fit one more thing on these walls either :)

Sorry about the lighting...as you can see it was pretty late!

We found this wonderful print of Carnegie Hall back when we had our antique space and

it was just one of those cool things we couldn't let go of ~

and what's more perfect that Deneen's gorgeous ticket sign hanging above it??!!

So a little more progress was made!!

But I have a feeling I'm going to be needing some ibuprofen soon...

OH!

And guess what I discovered about the photos on our blogs (blogger),

you can click one photo and a new page pops up with that photo featured.

Below the large photo is a film strip with all of the other photos from that post too.

Well, there is a tiny little clickable sentence that includes a blog address.

Click it (maybe twice) and THEN the featured pic will enlarge to it's full size!!!

I love enlarging everyone's photos to see each and every detail ~

I'm still going to continue adding to my Flickr too.

Thanks so much for checking in on me sweet friends!!

Have a beautiful Wednesday,

hugs and love,

Dawn
