What I love about blogging ~

There are many reasons why I love to blog ~ to exchange creative inspiration, meet sweet new friends....who may live very far away but have so much in common with me, to share ideas, thoughts, even recipes.....but most of all it's the caring. The genuine heartfelt caring that is here in this land of blog. If you are going through a trying time in your life or just a rough day, your friends here will lift you up and cheer you on!!

My sweet friend Lee of Weber's World - The Way I See It is having a giveaway on her blog for some of her goodies....and you know what you have to do to win??? Go visit her dear friend Julie's blog, Prairie Thistle and comment....just comment on any post, tell her hello and just give her some blog love!!!! Then go back and let Lee know you did and you're entered in to win.
How wonderful is THAT???

Take a look in Julie's Etsy shop if you can, her jewelry creations are beautiful!

Lee, the goodness will return to you sweetie, it always does ~

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

For the love of fairies ~

I finally finished the little fairy shoes!!!! They were quite time consuming but I'm very happy with the way they turned out.

I just added them to The Feathered Nest Shoppe if you'd like to take a look ~

SOLD! Thank you so much!

I love fairies ~ maybe they remind me of being a little girl, I don't know.
Of course, I see them as little sweet pixies, helping animals and living in the forest.

The world is full of so much stress and bad things but sometimes it's nice to stop and think on something sweet and simple .... such as fairy shoes ~

I hope you have an amazing Tuesday dear friends ~

hugs and love,
Dawn

Sweet speckled eggs ~

I've been wanting them forever.....since I had the antique store!!! Sweet little speckled egg soaps....I could never afford to sell them and knew good and well that my customers wouldn't buy them retail (the ones that were available) ~ I mean they're soap, not gold nuggets, right??
These egg soaps in their package of ten are going to be priced under 10.00...RETAIL!!!

Finally my sweet friend Dawn has come up with these sweeties and I love them!!!
The blue is a little stronger than I want (the photo has softened it up some but believe me, they are TOO blue) but that can be remedied easily.
I do hope to have them in my Feathered Nest Shoppe very, very soon!!!

I had to share a few goodies I picked up the other day when I found the precious little girls photo ~ I love the strangest things but know that they will be wonderful.....

Look at the mail love I received Saturday!!!! A wonderful handpainted heart from Rebecca at A Gathering of Thoughts ~ I won a recent giveaway she held and was able to pick what word to have painted on the wooden heart. Definitely for the studio, right??
Thank you so very much dear Rebecca, it's just beautiful!!!!
