~~~~~Ask The Angels~~~~~~

I have made a few more brooches this weekend and using a very pretty dark red velvet ribbon I found made them into little ribbon brooches, the other ribbon I am using is a lovely permmisson burnt orange colour, I bought it early this year just for the deep colour and texture of the velvet. I made a few Angel Cameo Style Pins and my Little Lady Fox drawing in on one of the cameos she looks very wintery next to the red ribbon so I put them together in a brooch.
Here is a little prayer I think about when I need the angels to come around me
~~~~~~
I recite/think in my head
~~~~~~
Angels please protect me and the loved ones around me from the many faces of evil in this world, the people who wear masks of truth and then defy your trust. With your golden glow of peaceful light bring these people to justice show them love and free them from the arms of darkness.
```````````
Amen.

And when ever you are in need I wear my little angle brooch to help me through difficult times or situations that you may need to attend and I find it works great for me, almost like i have a clear bubble around me where the poison arrows can't get in!
Please visit my little shop Dove Grey Shop if you wish to purchase a lovely angel brooch

Give Thanks

We had a nice Thanksgiving feast yesterday, it was just a small one with just our animals and ourselves so we made way to much to eat and now have to get out side in the almost zero weather and do some fall cleanup in the yard to work of all that stuffing. I tried my own recipe for stuffing this year since I am not a huge meat eater I like different veggie and combination side dishes, we mixed up a big bowl of nice bits of bread and pretty red fresh cranberries, bit of crushed chestnuts and onions and a mixture of herbs from basil to nutmeg they result was very enjoyable and I will have to do it again on the next roast dinner we prepare!




In giving thanks this weekend I reflect on how we are fortunate to have a home and food and our health and each other over this time and wish to all of you and your families the same.



I have been working on some creations for the up-coming Early Work update,
some holiday inspired pieces and wood painted silhouettes of a pair Christmas Sisters "Holly and Ivy" and a few Folk Styled Framed Papercuttings in a festive theme.
So please come back to visit my page that will be updated this week with new goodes.

I was lucky enough on our little walk through the park the other day to find some nicely colored fall leaves to decorate our table and we found mixed through the leaves near the rose garden lots of fallen but still fresh looking rose petals from the dozens of rose bushes, the strong winds we have had must a stripped most of the petals of these late bloomers so I did take a few handfuls to put in some bowls for a pretty Autumn Pot Pourri. My daughter put up her colorful paper Turkey so cute.....! she made in school this week and a few of her coloring pages to add to our table decorations. These 2 little Pagoda Blue dishes we a find at a sale this summer and I have yet to come across any more of the pattern, they remind much of Tasha Tudor's blue and white Canton China that she paints in her illustrations, and that she used for tea time every day.

Gift With Your Purchase

I have been packaging up my orders to send off to my customers and wanted to share a little snippet of what I stuff in with my orders. For the next few months I will include these pretty little things with your order in a sweet old tyme newsprint bag. I so love the little Flora MacDonald Needlepacket with bow. I have a few around my house tucked into cupboards, the other little sewing print is a rare print from a "Early Needlework Book For Young Girls" dated 1890, I love this print and the cute tomato pin cushion with a laughing face! I want my customers to happy and sweetly surprised!
