In just the blink of an eye, January is gone!

And what a wonderful month it has been!

Our precious grandson Owen is growing like a little weed

so you know I have to share his sweet self with you.

Heather and Owen came down a week or so ago and spent the entire day

with my husband and I (Papa and Mimi)

plus we invited Emily, Clara and Murray over as well

so they could finally meet baby Owen.

It was a wonderful day!!!

Owen is so laid back and chill...I love it!

Clara held him, Murray held him and of course Papa, Emily and I

held him as well. It was such a sweet day!

Our second born David, Owen's daddy!!! I can't believe that grey in your beard honey...

He's a wonderful daddy!

Owen's precious mama Heather...we love you so much sweetie!

David and Heather had a wonderful party last weekend so each side of the family

could meet little Owen....every one had a turn at holding him.

Here's our son Chase and Owen.

Makes my heart melt!

My precious mama holding Owen. She's his GREAT grandma! So thankful for this ~

My dad held him too but I missed the photo!!! Ugh.

My husband Dennis' daddy Milton holding Owen. He was named after daddy Milton!

Owen Milton Edmonson.

Great Grandaddy Milton had tears in his eyes!

Even Noah had a turn and fed Owen his bottle!

Dennis' mama, Great Grandma Jackie enjoyed him so much!

Our son Brad even got to hold the little angel!!!

Finally at the end of his big party he woke up!!!

Can you tell we are all in love with our newest angel?

In other news...guess what?

I've started a Studio De-Stash Group on Facebook where I'm selling TONS

of my collection and hoard!!!

Are we friends on Facebook????

Just ask to join my Dawn's Studio De-stash group!!!

Here are a few lots that I've sold lately!!!!

And lastly...our guest room (formerly Noah's bedroom :( .....) is coming along nicely!

I just need to give it a bit more attention but have been concentrating on cleaning up

and de-stashing of my studio. I figure I may as well have my own estate sale!!! HAHAHA!

And so it goes.

Another month has vanished.

But it's been a beautiful month here...

I pray your month was too!

hugs and love,

Dawn

A beautiful shower for precious Baby Owen!

This sweet baby shower was MONTHS in the making!

Planning, making lists, creating special touches...

and then, just a week or so ago,

we finally had the baby shower to welcome our

precious new grandson, Owen!

Our second to oldest son David and the love of his life Heather

are expecting little Owen any day now too!

I just had to share a few (A BUNCH!) photos from the shower ~

It was held in our son Brad's and his partner Davey's unbelievable home...

it will take your breath away!!!

Davey is an interior designer by trade, and it SHOWS!!!

The incredible baby cake that my sister-in-law Julie made!!!

She SO outdid herself this time!!!

The topper was created using a pretty pottery cradle that our son Brad purchased.

A dear friend Tammy did the gorgeous floral arrangement inside.

Below is a basket of favors for the guests.

There were over 50 people invited so we chose

an open house format.

Guests arriving from 2 pm until 5 pm, presenting their gift,

visiting, enjoying refreshments and leaving when they needed to.

It worked out wonderfully!!!

Below is our beautiful spread of food!!

So many helped me with this!

Our oldest son Brent, his wife Emily...Heather's mom Dianne...

her stepmom Sylvia...Davey and Brad...Julie, it truly took a village

but came together beautifully!!!!

I actually went to Brad and Davey's house Saturday evening

before the shower on Sunday afternoon.

THIS was my room for the night!!!!

I felt like a princess!

The shower in progress!

Yes, they even built a wonderful fire!

It was a cold, rainy afternoon but not inside ~

My dear sister-in-law Julie with her beautiful cake!!!

Corsages I made for Heather and David ~

Tags for the favor bags!

I made these to cinch up five Hershey kisses in a white tulle circle.

Tied up with a pretty bow.

Of course I had to use my favorite...seam binding!

Something so sweet...

David's precious little newborn outfit that he wore home from the hospital.

I gave it to Heather for Owen to wear!

I love you both so very much and can't

wait to meet precious Owen!

I hope you've enjoyed my baby shower post ~

I know it's tons of photos but I just couldn't leave anything out!

So now we wait...he's due any day now!

I hope you're staying cozy and warm this December.

Thank you always for stopping by to see me!

hugs and love,

Dawn

Simply letting go ~

Having been in the antique business for almost fifteen years now

we have collected so many wonderful treasures!!

And because you know my mentality...

when we would go searching for treasures

I would always, ALWAYS keep some of them for our home!!!

I couldn't help myself ~

and when you love all things

old and wonderful, they call to you.

We filled this wonderful little farmhouse with our things

and are finally letting go of

some of those found treasures!

And it's OK too.

I want others to love and enjoy

what we have loved for years!

So we are listing more and more in our

1925 Farmhouse Goods Etsy...

We will lighten our load here and

maybe you will find

the perfect treasure for yourself!!!

Here are a few pics of what's new and

some haven't even been listed yet:

I can't help myself...these sweet items are so beautiful to me!!!

Maybe, just maybe, someone else thinks so too....

I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday dear friends ~

I have even more goodness cookin' around here at the farmhouse,
