A few sweet treasures ~


This past weekend we did a tiny bit of treasure hunting...
you know how much I love that!
Well, I'm very cheap and selective it seems these days,
but I did find a few wonderful things ~

Here's my little haul:






I love the graphics on this tin!
It's a repro but I don't care ~
the color is so pretty to me too.



 





And I have ALWAYS wanted one of these "Pin Money" banks!!
I can't believe I found one for such a great price too :)




The stopper was inside and I was able to get it out easily.
But it didn't fit very well so I tossed it.
Like I'm really going to put money in it anyway!!
 



Sweet, old cuticle scissors ~ rusty and beautiful.





I loved this little book too....
a French to English...
English to French dictionary!
It's the most wonderful small size.



It's in a teeny bit of rough shape but you know I don't care!
Do you think it's been to France and back?







A new TJ Maxx store just opened near us and I had to go check it out!
I found a box of heavenly rose scented dusting powder and
this beautiful box of note cards ~
right up my ally, don't you think??!!!






Thank you always for stopping by to see me....
Wishing you a beautiful day precious friends!!!

hugs and love,
Dawn

Guess who came a knocking on my door today???


Uh, yeah....my little muse!!!!
She took herself a bit of a vaca
but I have to say, it was good to see her face!!!

I made a little something new to share with you ~
TOTALLY Carol Hicks Bolton inspired as
I have always, always drooled over the books
she had wired to the wall in a magazine feature I saved.

Here you go ~











It felt so good to make something today.
And you know what feels even better?

Just listed in my Etsy shop too :)

Wishing you a BEAUTIFUL Monday precious friends,
hugs and love,

Inspiration is good for what ails you...






When my muse is missing in action,
I find it's always a good thing to
look at gorgeous, creative things that
others have made ~
Isn't that wonderful?
That we can recharge our batteries
just by looking at other artist's beautiful work??
Here are a few that stir my soul...

Here is a piece by Lisa Jurist...you KNOW I love this!







A gorgeous wedding purse by Daphne Nicole....





The whimsical paper mache artistry of Debbie Thibault ~ just magical!



Sweet Ann Perry's beautiful work....




My sweet bottle from Lisa's hands....




An amazing handmade book by Stephanie Lee ~




So much goodness is shared here on the internet...
I have tons more but will end here ~
Are you inspired yet???

Wishing you a beautiful weekend precious friends ~
hugs and love,
Dawn
