Sweet memories of fall ~

Do you have a time of year that brings back the most precious memories??

Fall is that time for me.

When I was in fourth grade, we moved to a wonderful little neighborhood.

There were tons of other children....(one being my future husband)

Leaves were falling and I thought we had moved to the best place EVER!

Halloween in our neighborhood was amazing!!

We all trick or treated together

and knew each other's families.....

there were no worries at all ~ just good, clean fun!

When this time of year rolls around, my mind always returns

to this precious time in my life....

no worries, no scary stuff,

just pure fun that all children love!!!


Happy Monday precious friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Simple beauty ~

I couldn't stand it anymore....

it was time to make something!

Last week a gave you a peek at the beginnings of this new piece ~

so instead of more fluffing on the house, I chose to finish it!

While making art, I always have so many ideas but

it seems I end up with quite simple pieces.

Maybe I under-edit but I just want the elements that are there

to stand alone ~ to show their beauty.

I could add tons and tons more things to this piece

but the simplicity speaks volumes to me.

She's now listed in my Etsy shop too!!!
And she is now sold, thank you so much Melissa!

Thank you for visiting me sweet friends....

Have a wonderful Friday,

hugs and love,

Dawn
