Finishing things up ~

I've been working on a few special order sachets...
and I finally finished them all!

I made a few extra if you were wanting one ~
they are listed in my Etsy shop :)

Some of my very favorite bird images for you:
(be sure to click on them to save...they are large!)

I had to throw the sunflower in there...I just love this print!

My latest little grouping of lavender sachets in the shop ~

Wishing you a wonderful Friday &
BEAUTIFUL weekend precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Birds, thoughts and a giveaway!

I love this bird plate....

all the speckled eggs with brown and cream tones ~

for you...

A couple of bird images for you....

I'm trying so hard to get on a better schedule...
but I'm just naturally a night owl!!

So now, to prepare for the Barn House show,
I want to get busy creating.

But I'm going to make sure that the items
are light and can be shipped by the box full

to Portland and not cost an arm and a leg!

I've had this recent fascination with peat pots....
I can't get enough of them!!

So I think that I'll try to alter one and see what it will turn out like ~

Maybe with sweet wire handles....
seam binding tied on each side...

and then I need to decide how
I want to fill them and decorate the outside.

I think they need to be earthy...
but who know what they'll turn out like ~

You know how we all adore free images, right??

Bird prints to share ~

When I'm out looking for treasures....I've always look for something beautiful that I can scan and share with you. I found these bird prints at a wonderful antique store that I used to sell my wares in ~ Antique Griffin.....I still love going and digging for things to create with ~

I also found this GORGEOUS pastoral print....it's tattered and so very old ~ I'm not sure where to hang it yet but it was on sale and had to come home with me! I'm sorry for all the reflections ~

A tiny little drawer perfect for an assemblage ~

And lace ~ gorgeous ecru lace....

My sweet friend Dawn bought these two gathering baskets for me, I think they will be beautiful used as a backdrop for an assemblage as well!

I've been sprucing and straightening and am about ready to take a few photos of the studio. Here's a glimpse at something after I had just started (I'm now finished with it).....
an ever-changing framed gathering of beautiful things ~ I used my new clips (Thank you Kathy!) and those cool pins from Michael's ~

I hope that you have a wonderful Thursday dear friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
