A thankful spirit ~

I truly am a thankful person.

But it seems that there are some days

that thankfulness washes over me enough to make me weep.

Not so much for any one gigantic thing but

simply for all things.

For any little goodness that comes our way,

for the sweetness of friends and family...

for my family being happy and healthy and

for all the precious blessings our Lord gives us.

Every day is a thankful day but today

I just need to proclaim it!!!

A thankful heart truly is a happy heart.

Wishing you a beautiful May weekend precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Butter soft canvas, old wedding lace and lavender ~

Well, with all the wonderful canvas (which has been laundered and is oh-so-soft now)

I ran across last month at Scott Antique Market,

and all my gorgeous old lace half-way organized...

I made a few more creamy lavender sachets.

Each one is just a little different from the others but all are 5" x 7" not counting

the lace on each end and are totally filled with fragrant lavender buds!

These little goodies have just been added to my Etsy shop!

I so hope you've been having a great week...mine's getting better and better ~

Thank you so much for your get well wishes...I appreciate them so much ~

I just have to tell you, diverticulitis is not fun.

Just when you think, "I'm doing good" it can sneak right up on you!!

Wishing you a beautiful Thursday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Simple treasures ~

These little items would normally be forgotten ~

maybe tossed into a drawer or even the trash.

They are old, stained and don't seem

to have a specific purpose anymore.

Fragments of lace....old thread that has age speckles from the years ~

odd lengths of trims left over from a previous project.

That's no matter though, right??

For me they have a beautiful purpose.

They make me smile and

truly inspire my creative spirit!!!!!

A few found treasures that I just couldn't resist ~

Even the gorgeous old labels make me swoon :)

(Sorry for the re-post...I'm just a little under-the-weather right now xxoo)

Happy Wednesday precious friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn
