Gorgeous typography and fragrant lavender...

I absolutely love, love beautiful old typography...

antique documents,

gorgeous vintage labels,

and of course elegant penmanship ~

Since I've been on a sewing kick lately

I thought I'd join the two!

I've printed several lovely old images onto fabric and

made lavender sachets.

Add a little seam binding bundle and an antique button

to each...and each one is a little treasure!!!

And to top it all off?

The studio smells just heavenly!

All are now in my Etsy shop if you'd like to take a peek ~

Thank you so much for stopping by to see what I'm up to...

Your comments are always so inspiring to me!!

Wishing you a beautiful Thursday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

A little peek at something wonderful...

First... a beautiful old postcard and

a couple of ideas for you!

I scanned these way back in 2008,

maybe you don't have them?
(click images a couple of times for largest size)

When I find something wonderful,

you know I love to share it with you!!

Well, I was picking up a few items a w-mart

a few days ago and had to stroll through the magazine section.

Now, I've gotten REALLY picky about buying magazines.

It has to be just wonderful for me to buy it.

I used to not be that way, but times have changed...

Lisa had mentioned the new Christmas magazine that

Matthew Mead created this year and that I'd love it...

and I found it!

She was right, it's really wonderful ~

I thought I'd give you a little sneak peek to see what you think.

It's a little pricey at 12.99 BUT

there's not ONE ad inside...

so to me, it's really more like a book!

Pretty, huh? The time is upon us dear friends...

Cathy of Cathy's Crazy By Design

won one of my lavender sachets a few weeks ago

and sent me a sweet thank you gift in the mail!!!

Just look at this gorgeous lace she sells in her Etsy shop!

Thank you so much Cathy, you know I will love creating

something with these wonderful pieces of lace!!!

Be sure to stop by Debra's blog Common Ground
to see her Monday Marketplace post!!
She is so sweet to promote others
and their wares!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with those

affected by this terrible storm,

I pray for the safety of everyone in it's path.

Wishing you a beautiful Monday precious friends...

hugs and love,

Dawn
