The old farmhouse is filled with the aroma of lavender!


It feels so, so good to create something pretty!!
These little babies are finally finished, fluffed and adorned ~
The beauty of making lavender sachets is the wonderful
aroma that fills my studio and the rest of the house!

Here are the finished sachets....














All are now listed in my Etsy store should you see one you love!!!

I've linked up with Debra's Monday Marketplace too!!



Wishing you a BEAUTIFUL weekend my dear friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

I love you, you know I do...


But it seems as of late, I am in a bit of a funk.
What exactly IS a "funk?"
Well, Merriam-Webster says it's a
"depressed state of mind"
and maybe it is.

But for me, it's really being in a distracted state of mind.
With much going on with my family...I've not been
able to concentrate on creating and sharing like I normally do.
But I still love sharing with you here.
Even if my photos are random...
old...
or even a few repeats...
I love sharing with you and being present.

Do you have these moments?
So much going on that you just can't do it all
at 100 percent?

But ahhh...such is life.
Trying to juggle much,
do it all right...




























       

We are simply human in the end.


Wishing you a most wonderful week ahead and
a very happy Monday precious friends,

hugs and love,
Dawn

Where do you see beauty?



I see beauty in the simplest of things....
Old, aged watch faces ~ the grungier the better.



A recent batch I found....I'm always trying to build up my stash!



An image from an old pattern ~
beautifully old and precious.




I found this image here a long time ago and have always been in love with her.
She's called a Spit Doll....
She is so beautiful to me.




A little doll dress I made then aged....
the aging makes it beautiful.



How about precious old baby shoes...that have been worn out by learning to take new steps.



Stitches on old linens, stained or not ~ they are beautiful to me.
Someone took their time and skill to create them.



When I was younger, everything I loved had to be so perfect to be beautiful.
Now, not so much....
the more aged and distressed something is,
the more I seem to love it!


Wishing you a beautiful Thursday precious friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
