Simple pleasures ~

I never tire of seeing these gorgeous paintings by

John William Waterhouse ~

I thought I would share them again with you.

I found a GREAT new magazine that I love, Prairie Style!

I think you'll love it too so I have to share a few peeks.

But if you see it at the store, pick it up and thumb through ~

see if you don't agree that it's a keeper!

I also wanted to share the simple little gathering of goodies

I found for my mom for Mother's Day!

She doesn't need much and if she needs it, she buys it.

But I do know what she loves.

Soft bedroom shoes...luxurious hand lotion...

and a clean, soft fragrance in a candle.

I also found the most amazing sounding recipe on Facebook

and since they don't have a computer, I typed it up for her.

She LOVES pecan pie so of course pecan pie muffins sound yummy!

Just a few simple pleasures for my mom

to let her know I'm thinking of her...and love her so ~

I have one last little slipcover and

one lone baby shoe pincushion

left in my Etsy shop.

Take a peek if you'd like ~

either one would make a perfect gift!

Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday sweet friends!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

Roses, ticking and toile!

I'm just so proud of these babies!!!

I finally finished all four of the composition notebook slipcovers

I've been working on!

The slip in the front, the red vintage roses one, is already sold...

but the other three have just been listed in my Etsy store ~

The wonderful thing is that these pretties can slip off one notebook

and slip right onto a new one!!!

I kind of underestimated how long it would take me to make four though ~

The rolled roses were the thing. They take time to make, as do the fabric leaves...

But I'm so pleased with the outcome!

I hope you're having a beautiful weekend dear friends!!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

A few new goodies in progress and a wonderful link!

Well, I've finally gotten off my behind and

started on a few more journal slipcovers!!!

I've had a request from a dear friend for one so...

of course I thought, why not grab a few more pretty fabrics and make some extras???

Hopefully they will be in my Etsy in a day or so ~

Do you like the fabrics?

On the far left is a gorgeous pink vintage roses fabric cut from a curtain!

Next a wonderful tan and cream ticking....

Next, one of my fav fabrics EVER! I use it all the time,

Waverly Country Life cream and tan toile.

and lastly, at the request of my sweet friend Dottie,

another one like my last one,

Waverly Norfolk Rose fabric ~

And I just HAVE to share this wonderful idea with you.

This is such a precious idea to me...

You could use a box you adorned, a jar, whatever!!!!

She provides printables as well that you can write on ~

Just go look. It made me cry!!!

Here's the LINK from A Holy Experience.

Happy Thursday angels ~
