The sweetness in my life ~

Our boys are truly our blessings in this life!!!

I've scanned a few photos that I've shared on Facebook

and I thought I would share them with you here as well!

Our second and third born, David and Brad! Only two years apart and VERY animated!!!

They were about four and two years old here...now?

30 years old and 28. REALLY?

A sweet photo of David at the beach when he was just a wee little one.

A precious photo of our fourth born, Chase...he looks like he's up to something!!!

He's now just about to turn 24 years old.

A sweet photo of Noah, our baby who is now 17 years old...he was only about two here!

This is a photo of our oldest son Brent who was a mere 1 3/4ths year old checking out

his new baby brother David...in 1984.

My goodness ~ Brent is 32 and now David is 30.

A precious photo of Brent when he was only about four ~

Chase, our fourth born is such a sweet angel here and only a teeny toddler!

David and Brad. Exactly two years apart to the day!!! Discussing The Night Before Christmas....

And here is a much more recent photo taken just a couple of years ago...

Our beautiful babies!!!

I hope you don't mind me sharing my sweet sons with you ~

I've been looking through old photos
and just can't believe how fast the time has gone by.

Cherish the moments dear friends!!!!

A few scans for you from my sweet gifts from Lisa!!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful Friday and weekend!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

Random goodness ~

We had a WONDERFUL Fourth of July weekend around here
I so hope you did as well!!!
Just a little swimming, cooking out and spending time
with our precious family.
I don't have too much to blog about but will always re-share
something I think that you may love to inspire you!

I sewed this little doll dress a few years back....and aged it as well.

Seeing this photo makes me want to make a few more!!

I wonder if they would sell in my Etsy shop?

Don't you just love beautiful old book covers?

This one was falling off of an old book I bought,

so I scanned it....click on it a couple of times to see how big it is!

 

I love, LOVE botanicals and tinted these

so they would be sepia toned ~

I still love them so...

The pic below is random but still thought it was good to share again ~

you all know I'm a freak for seam binding!
Don't forget to visit Zipperstop to buy your seam binding
and remember to tell Jeff that
The Feathered Nest sent you!!!

 Sweet old woman....

One of my favorite images....EVER!

And I'll leave you with a wonderful photo

I took of the antique store I used to own ~

this was the little bitty front porch all dolled up!

Those are gauzy curtains that are hung near each post.

See the "P" on the painted door?

It is one of those vinyl sticker things...neat idea, huh?

The shop was call The Plum Tree Antiques ~

sometimes I miss it but then again, I really don't...

it was fun while it lasted though!

Thank you always for visiting me here

and especially for your precious comments!!!

Have a wonderful Monday dear friends!

hugs and love,

Dawn

Finding my way back ~

I truly am trying...to find my way back, that is.

Back to making pretty things, enjoying the studio and

coming up with new ideas to share with you.

The soap biz has totally sucked me dry.

We are slowly cutting back our production

as my sweet hubby is working so much with his

full time job and we simply can't keep up.

So we've put our little soap shop

on holiday for the time being.

I look at it as a positive thing as

I've missed blogging regularly and missed sharing

what I find and make with you!!!

Can you believe that February is almost over???

And March here in Georgia

always brings the whispers of Spring...

I'm so looking forward to it this year too.

Seems it's been a rough Winter for everyone!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by...

And especially for your sweet comments,

they are so appreciated ~

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

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,

Dawn

One crazy week!!!

First of all, even though it's almost over,

I want to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!

It's been very low key here...

we ordered in Chinese and are enjoying a quiet evening at home.

I hope your day has been so good!

And THIS is why we've had such a crazy week!!!

We had terrible ice storm hit Georgia and paralyze the state once again.

This time it was much worse, causing power outages and falling trees.

We were fortunate and never lost power and only a few small limbs

were lost from the old pecan trees surrounding our house.

And the crazy thing?

The very next day, every bit of this ice VANISHED!!

Completely gone, melted as if it had never happened.

Thank goodness folks weren't stranded on highways like last time though!

I think we're all ready for Spring!

I also wanted to show you the beautiful lantern my sweet hubby
gave me for Valentine's Day ~
I just love it!!!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend dear friends,

hugs and love,
