I wanna be the old-clock-face-antique-lace-old-baby-shoe-&-baby dress whisperer!

Do you think I can be?

If sweet Karla can be the gorgeous rhinestone jewelry

and amazing vintage hat whisperer....

maybe I can!

Of course, I may need to add old sheet music,

old dilapidated books, old glass jars and

of course, old buttons to my list too :)

By the way, did you know one of my favorite books is
For the Love of Old?

I wanted to share with you a few goodies I've found recently ~

Look at the GORGEOUS graphics on this pocket watch face....

Watch faces like these are my FAVS!!!

I found this old bottle a while back and it had some kind of red dye inside ~

after wrestling with the rusted old top for days and days,

I finally got it off and cleaned it up....

don't you love the shape?

Plus, I received the sweetest gift in the mail!!!!

My dear friend Colette of A Bird in The Hand

sent me the most precious care package!

Folded gently inside of this beautiful dresser scarf

was a delicate embroidered baby slip....

and a length of gorgeous old lace ~

you SO know what I love dear friend.....don't you? :)

Thank you so very much sweet angel!!!!

I love it all Colette!

I won't talk about the you-know-whats I'm still working on.....

they're becoming a subject that I'm even tired of hearing about ~

kinda like the peat pots?

I hope you have an amazing Tuesday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Dreaming of pocket watches and fairies ~

I have been wanting some pocket watch cases FOREVER!!!
I found this precious set of three on ebay and had to buy them.....and they still have their glass fronts too!!! I want to make a few mini assemblages in them ~ but one seems destined to stay with me, can you guess which one??

Just look at the beautiful bird engraving on the back ~ eeeeek! I'm in love ~

I feel like I've been away from my creative self for some time now, caring for little Noah and also not feeling well but I'm getting so excited about creating again ~ and I actually finished a special order! I don't usually take orders as I'm one of those artists that love creating what I'm in the mood to create, but Vicki is a former customer and wanted her sisters turned into fairies!! I'm so pleased with how they turned out.

I've created an instructional tutorial for this project
that's for sale on my Lessons from The Nest blog ~
who could you turn into a fairy??

Making things makes me smile :)

Happy Thursday dear friends ~
xxoo, Dawn
