A few more ~

I decided to make a few more of the little white pumpkins.

The first one hasn't sold, so I thought I'd make one a little smaller and then

a third one even smaller to create a sweet set!

They're almost finished and I'll be sure to share a photo of all three

in a grouping as soon as I'm done.

They'll have much more impact displayed together!

A few beautiful images for you to use ~

I hope your week is going so good!!!

Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday precious friends.

hugs and love,

A busy, busy bee!

Well, now I've moved on to soap!!!

We've got a ton of orders and we are doing some

SERIOUS catching up around here!!!

Just trying to squeak out a living and pay our bills...

I miss you when I don't post so I had to pop in and say hello ~

Thank you always for stopping by to see me dear friends!!!

Happy Tuesday angels,

hugs and love,

A little hello ~

I had to stop in and say hello to you my sweet friends.

It seems I've been absent too long from

this ol' blog. I miss you when I've not posted too.

Just a few images I scanned a long time ago ~

you may even already have them!

I hope you are doing so good...

Wishing you a beautiful Wednesday dear friends!!!

hugs and love,

A little treasure hunting ~

Precious little girl images for you....

This past weekend I was able to get out for a little treasure hunting!

I've turned into the most FRUGAL cheapskate ever, ever.

Mainly because, I have gathered so many goodies already,

So I tell myself it must be amazingly affordable to take it home.

But you know the fun is always the thrill of the hunt!!!

I hit a few antique stores first, one being Antique Griffin ~

an antique mall that I've had several spaces in over the years.

I always, ALWAYS leave with a treasure or two!

Next, I stopped at several thrift stores to see what I could find.

My treasures are few but I'm so pleased with what I came home with!

A couple of old bottles with their original corks ~

snippets of gorgeous, aged, antique lace,

a lovely pair of old clip-on earrings

and remnants of beautiful fabric

(yeah, like I need more of that!)

And a most wonderful find???

This large piece of white chenille fabric...over FIVE yards!

It was a mere fraction of what it would've been at the fabric store.

Now, help me think of something wonderful to create with it....

Many years ago, I made a precious little baby jacket with chenille fabric

and lined it with blue and white toile ~

Well, we are expecting some scary weather here in Georgia for the next few days.

ICE.

I so hope it won't be as bad as they are forecasting.

I usually love winter as it usually so mild here but I have to honestly say

I'm ready for this one to be gone and to welcome Spring!!!

I hope you have a beautiful Tuesday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Down the rabbit hole ~

Hello sweet friends!

I'm so sorry I've been a little absent lately ~

Absent from blogging, from creating and

from visiting other's blogs that I love and admire.

Seems I've been down a soapy rabbit hole and

am trying to dig my way out!

I am so very thankful for all of our recent orders

and have been telling myself that making soap

really is a creative thing too!!

But I know that there are only so many posts

that you want to see of our little egg soaps.

Hopefully I will get back to making other

pretty things soon!

But I thank you for always stopping by just to see what I'm up to ~

Wishing you a beautiful fall Friday and weekend!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

Making pretty things ~

I've started working on a special order (months old) and am finally getting it finished!

Remember the memory organizer I made filled with pockets?

Well, I've had a friend wanting one and it was so difficult to make

that I have put it off for months!

But I finally started it and am

I'm in the middle of it now and hoping so much that it

turns out good and that she loves it.

My new lamp and it's rogue shade (I don't care)

and one of my work tables filled with recent

magazine treasures. I still haven't even looked at them all!!

More of the work table...

The sewing machine just waiting for me to get this project finished!!!

And someone waiting to be next...

Don't forget about my 'Paris Flea Market Treasures' book giveaway!!!

My very favorite shades of seam binding...

You all KNOW how much I love the wonderful seam binding from

Zipperstop and I just had to share with you my lovely

seam binding collection.

My photos are kinda cheezy and not the most accurate with the color but

maybe you can tell a little about the shades if you'd like

to order a roll or two yourself!!!

Here's what I've compiled so far:

UPDATE: I've also discovered a NEW favorite shade...CROQUETTE BEIGE!

If you decide to order any.....please tell Jeff
"The Feathered Nest" sent you ~

he knows how much I love it all!!!

AND stay tuned...I'm going to experiment with dying
some of my lighter shades to give them an even older, blotchy feel!!!!

Happy Tuesday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
