Sweet mail love & a One Day Sale!!

Thursday was a sweet mail day!! Look at these beautiful old newsletters that Shari from Vermont sent me!! Just because she knew I would love them . . . what kindness ~ I love them so very much Shari, thank you, thank you!!! Don't you just love the graphics??

I had to scan this one for you, I know Christmas is still a few months off but maybe you can use these precious carolers in some of the projects that you sell!

I decided to do a little printing on muslin ~ what is it about these images on fabric, I just love graphics and text ~ maybe from being a graphic designer so long but I just do. I'm going to try to incorporate these images on my apron. Yes, I'm still working on it!

The only thing is my work is so, I don't know, too precise looking, not artistic enough....I see all of this wonderful fabric artwork....it's so free-spirited.

Now I see why I've procrastinated!

A few beautiful old things ~

Old watches and watch faces ~ perfect to use in artwork . . .

I love this statue ~ I'm not sure if it's old but it looks so fairy-like!

A sweet little butter pat with our initial. I love the hairline crack and the tiny crazing all over.

This beautiful old cameo pin (I think it's old) ~ it's so pretty to me.

Look at this amazing piece of ephemera from 1889! They must have given it out to all who attended the service that day. How in the world can this little piece of intricate paper survive all of these years? It truly is beautiful ~

Wishing you a peaceful, relaxing and blessed Sunday ~

xxoo, Dawn
