Lavender Sachets...

 I just know you're going to love these beautiful lavender sachets that

recently arrived from my creative friend, Dawn at The Feathered Nest!

 One of them has a scroll with the words "May friendship's well never run dry".

I especially like the daisies on this one. (It's Mom Grace's favorite flower.)

 This other one features a vintage image of old-time roses with a 

"Many Happy Returns" message in the corner. These roses remind me

 of the rose-covered wallpaper on the walls of my childhood bedroom.

 She embellished the beautiful images with her signature seam binding

and then she added sparkling buttons. Don't you think it's just a perfect 

touch for the lovely pink and green floral images that Dawn chose?

 I'll be showcasing these fragrant sachets in the studio for a while. They

smell great, and they also make me smile just looking at them. I think

they'll fit right in, don't you? Of course, later I'll move them to my

bureau drawer where I'll enjoy the aroma of lavender every time I open it.

 I have a thing for calendars...especially if I think I might be able to use

the images later for something else. I'm particularly fond of Cheri Blum

images from her calendars, but these are so aesthetically pleasing to me.

 These woodland images were created by Linda Ravenscraft for a

 calendar that was produced in 2007. I have it safely tucked in the

studio along with my Cheri Blum calendars, just waiting for me.

 I have used Cheri's images in decoupage on furniture, and can just 

imagine how wonderful these might be on just the right piece. I think they'd

add a perfect touch to a chest of drawers, or on the doors of the armoire 

that stands in my studio. I can imagine acorn adornments with them, too.

 This is the front of my calendar, and it's just like new.

Now that I'm looking at it again, my mind is full of ideas for

using these images. Don't be too surprised if you see one of

them again - in another context - in the near future.

 I'll be at Coffee Club this morning, and this afternoon all of us

will be attending Flo's memorial service here in North Port.

All of her local friends will be gathering to remember her and 

all the good times we shared together. I hope the sun shines.

It would be appropriate.
