...kindred spirits. Whatever you want to call it. That would be me and Dawn. If it weren't for the Victoria magazine launch last fall, we might never have actually met face to face, but we'd have still been kindred spirits just the same.
We met about a year ago actually, when I was lusting and drooling all over my keypad for some pillows she made and posted on her blog, which is called "The Feathered Nest". (Click on the lavender words to link or go to my blog roll on the right hand side bar to find her!) They're bark cloth. They're adorable. And so is Dawn.
Anyway, we've been bloggy friends since then and,as I said, met in Dallas, where we shared a hotel room for the Victoria magazine launch, and now we email back and forth and whatnot.
Last week Dawn became an online shopkeeper (oh, she sold stuff on her blog before that, but this is an official shop!) and I of course had to take a peek at it right away. Oh my. Those tags! Feathers and eggs. Well, you know I had to have 'em. I thought they'd be fabulous on someone special's gift.
And..they would be...but...
They arrived and I took one look at them and I knew. I had to keep them. They were too wonderful to simply tie on a package! (Dawn, you out did yourself on these little gems, sweetie!)
I decided to frame some of them so I can look at them anytime I please. I used old book pages for my matting. (Kind of my altered art done with Dawn's altered art.) I love it!
*sigh* Truely Dawn, these little tags are works of art. I will treasure them.
