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

A few beautiful old things ~

Old watches and watch faces ~ perfect to use in artwork . . .

I love this statue ~ I'm not sure if it's old but it looks so fairy-like!

A sweet little butter pat with our initial. I love the hairline crack and the tiny crazing all over.

This beautiful old cameo pin (I think it's old) ~ it's so pretty to me.

Look at this amazing piece of ephemera from 1889! They must have given it out to all who attended the service that day. How in the world can this little piece of intricate paper survive all of these years? It truly is beautiful ~

Wishing you a peaceful, relaxing and blessed Sunday ~

xxoo, Dawn
