Something old, something new....

I scanned a wonderful page from one of the old books I found Saturday ~
I hope you can use it in some way....

Here are a few of the treasures we unearthed Saturday too ~
I found a few goodies for me :)
I cannot WAIT to make this silver tray into a collage....

The books were so inexpensive and the more rugged and worn, the better!

I know you've seen one of these serving pieces before,
it's not old but I've always thought they were neat!

And this, an old stamp holder....

an old folding ruler ~

This is the largest, heaviest pair of scissors I've ever seen!

I found these journals last week at Books-a-Million
and loved that they are covered in creamy fabric....

I've been wanting to make a few velvet strawberries lately,
but this is about as far as I've gotten....

Our lunch with our old classmate Ray and his wife Holly was so much fun!!!
It's still hard to believe that we hadn't seen each other in thirty years....
Ray creates pottery (as well as being a teacher for gifted students)
and he gave Dawn and I both some of his art pottery!!!!
I think it's beautiful ~

I have some wonderful news too....our second oldest son,
David, is now engaged to his sweet love, Jerri!!
We are so excited and they are going
to have the neatest wedding in October ~
they will be married out in the country on some land
with a little cottage and a barn ~
they will be roasting a pig!!!
It's going to be such a blast ~

Thank you so much for stopping by to see me...
I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday sweet friends!!!
hugs and love,
Dawn
