Wonderful treasures given & found ~

What a sweetheart you are Diane!!! Diane Knott of Diane's Musings gifted me one of her beautiful lavender sachet pins thanking me for her giveaway prize! Diane won the little nest baby in a jar and has it displayed with the most precious collection of baby shoes. Thank you so very much Diane, the card, the pin and the tag are all beautiful!!

I just couldn't wait to show you what my girlfriend Dawn gave me Friday, her "vintage" wedding dress!!!!! It's circa 1982 (not really vintage:) and I just LOVE all of the lace and plan on using it for future projects. Remember the Christmas ornament that said "Wish" a few posts back that was in one of the Advent Calendar pockets? Well, this is the same type lace . . . it's just gorgeous!!

I found these beautiful old books on Etsy and just loved the illustrations. I'm sure that you've figured out by now that I collect old books with bird or children's illustrations. The stories in both books are lovely too ~ I'll scan some of these for you soon too!!!

How in the world could anyone discard this beautiful book? Oh well, it was meant for me to love ~ I've been working on a few more orders and then I'm going to start on a new tutorial ~ a nature journal!

Have a great Saturday!

xxoo, Dawn
