It's time my friends...time to LET GO OF THE WONDERFUL!!!

So...here's the deal.

I'm going through my amazing hoard...and listing TONS of stuff!!!

It's really time.

I've not been very creative lately but have SO many wonderful things!

Why not pass my found treasures on to another artist???

This is just a FRACTION of my hoard so stay tuned my precious friends!!!

Keep tuning into my little Etsy store HERE.

What else have I been up to?

Hmmmm, let's see.

My precious mother-in-law had a birthday SO

I wanted to make a wonderful gift basket for her!!!

Bedroom shoes to keep her feet cozy,

a fuzzy throw to keep her warm this winter,

hand wash and hand lotion,

yummy smelling soap,

the most wonderful smelling candle,

a coffee mug and since she loves wearing silver,

a container of silver jewelry cleaner!

SHE LOVED IT ALL!!! SCORE!

ALSO...I've been working on some wonderful lavender sachets!

They are for a precious friend of mine that will be a vendor

in the Country Living Fair here in Atlanta!!!

EEEEK!

My little handmades will be sold there!!!

Finishing them up this week for her.

And so it goes, this simple life of mine.

Thank you always for taking a peek inside!!!

Wishing you so much goodness and love,

xxoo,

Dawn

Got stuff?? Display it!

I hung the shadow boxes!!

Man...by the looks of this pic...I like me some stuff!!!

I just hope that shelf holds up and doesn't crash,

I don't think I can cram one more little bitty thing on there :)
The shadow boxes are pretty full too, don't you think???

This grouping is all hung above my sewing machine...

You know how I am...

I fully believe the blank wall is just waiting

to be filled up with lovely things!

Only you, my dear friends, understand this love of collected treasures....

and being able to look at them as I walk through my studio?

PRICELESS!!!

I'm working on a big ol' group of iPhone cases...nine as a matter of fact!

Stay tuned ~ I'll have neutral colors and gorgeous vintage roses barkcloth....

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday my sweet, sweet friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Loving the unloved ~

I can't help myself.

In our home....I want to have so many beautiful things

no matter where your eyes fall.

I guess that's why I love collections....

crazy old things that have been forgotten by others,

nests that have been built by the most diligent bird,

something that someone else may have tossed out but that

I've found and brought into our home to give it a place of value.

I have a firm belief that to appreciate these cast offs is an honorable thing.

It shows a thankfulness and appreciation for all that has come before us.

No. I don't want my home to look like Hoarders

but to be selective...

and display these forgotten treasures

is golden to me.

Wishing you my dear friends,

a most wonderful Wednesday!!!!

Much love to you all,

Dawn

Always tweaking, always fluffing ~

My sweet DIL Emily took this pic outside the farm house....

barbed wire is scary but it's a wonderful photo, don't you think?

I should be creating but instead I'm playing around with the studio again!

I came across the wonderful old umbrellas I had in my old studio
and had to find the perfect place for them in the new one ~

Well, if you move one thing in this room....you have to move a ton!!!

So I took a few photos of new vignettes ~

I finally found a good spot to place one of my vintage umbrellas!

I love things up HIGH!

Here's the neat old black one ~

is it bad luck to open umbrellas inside???

Not to me...

they inspire me so!!!

I found this little doll dress a few years back ~

I bought it to alter...
Yeah, right.

Some things you just don't touch.

I'm in love with the way it looks and it is totally inspiring to me!!!

So, do you think sweet Clara is in love with her Woody doll?

I think so!!!!

Naps are always better when you have a friend to take them with!!!

Wishing you a wonderful Friday dear friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn
