Sweet friendship ~

A little something to share with my precious blog friends:


The beauty of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
nor the kindly smile...
it's the spiritual inspiration that comes
when you discover that someone else
believes in you
and is willing to trust you
with their friendship.


I wanted to show you a sweet package I recently received in the mail ~
From a dear friend, Eileen....
Ralph Lauren wallpaper samples...sheet music....lace....
so many thoughtful gifts!!!
Thank you dear Eileen, I love each and every thing!

I bought these seeds the other day and need to get them in the ground!
I dream of giant dried sunflowers with their gorgeous seeds!!!
Anyone have any advice as to where to plant these?
I think these are supposed to be enormous!

I'm watching a little angel today...
so her mother can have a day out helping the soap business prosper!
Can you believe how big Clara is getting?

Melanie of Pockets of Inspiration is having a beautiful giveaway HERE!

Lorraine of Creative Daily is celebrating her blogiversary

with a wonderful giveaway HERE!

I hope you have a great Tuesday dear friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

A tribute to mothers ~

A Mother's Love

Author Unknown

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.

 

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.

I wanted  to share just a few images that I've collected over the years
that would be perfect for a Mother's Day card!!

Being the mother to our five sons has truly been the most important,

hard and wonderful thing I've ever done and continue to do.

If I do nothing else in this lifetime...

this alone has been such a joy and honor to me.



I hope you have a wonderful Monday precious friends!
hugs and love,
Dawn

I love.....

Going to the book store...with my peeps, Emily and angel Clara!!!
I had to get the newest issue of Where Women Create ~
ohmygoodness...girls, it's a wonderful issue!!!!
It's  a "must have"....

I'm not sure if my studio will be featured in this mag...
I'm still waiting to hear more as the shoot was postponed.
Even if it's not featured,
it will always be one my favorites!!
Right along with Somerset Life ~


A sweet peep wants to say "hi!"

I hope you are having a wonderful, relaxing weekend sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
