Dawn's small but well-loved collection

[Miss_Dawn]

Wow, what a beautiful Christmas tree!!! It looks as good as the one at the store that you posted on the other thread. This tree would make me happy too. And I love your new Geode Rose S’well bottle — I got my eye on this newish pink pattern. Good luck studying and with your conference tomorrow—you will be great .

Conference went well, thank you!
Yes, I love this Swell bottle. It’s very artistic and feels lovely to hold as well.
Thank you for the compliments on my tree. It definitely doesn’t look as good as the ones in the shop, but Mr Dawn and I decorated it from scratch by ourselves including lights, so we’re feeling pretty chuffed with ourselves

This is all so beautiful! I enjoy all the soothing pink too. I hope the conference ends up at least a little fun!

It’s not a fun event, but at least it’s not a scary one! Travel there and back was s bit tiring but I have a lot of holidays left to use up by December so I’m taking a long weekend to study (and shop & rest )

Too much gorgeousness all around!

Thank you so much dearest Kendie

Beautiful holiday decorations. I hope you had a great conference.

Thank you very much, my friend @More bags
I’m really enjoying the decorations

I have lots of holidays left to use up by end December, so I took yesterday and today off as a long weekend. I’ve been shopping today

You are always very kind to me. I think your wardrobe sounds much more well managed and neat than mine. Mine is always threatening to overflow

Shopping? Uh oh!! Make more room in your wardrobe, lol

Not bags luckily

I bought various bits and pieces for home, and some cosmetics / beauty bits. The interesting things were:
- some Starbucks mugs with a really pretty London skyline motif
- a pink Venetian mask for a Christmas party that is coming up
- two mini Google home assistant pods (looking forward to trying them out!)

My pink Venetian mask is a work of beauty. I’m planning to wear a baby pink dress covered in bead work, with silver shoes and my rose ballerine Alma BB

Plus a bonus shot of this week’s roses

(Can you tell I’m going through a pink phase? )

And finally, I committed to a purchase with my gift card from Selfridges from work... close up pictures coming!

 

[Miss_Dawn]

So here is what I finally did with the gift card my work place gave me for my tenth anniversary. It was a Selfridges gift card and I thought for about a month - what is good enough to spend it on?

With the gift card, the most senior Partners in the firm, including the CEO, wrote me a card with messages. Here are some of the messages:

- From my CEO: “Congratulations! It has been such a pleasure being part of your journey. You bring so much enthusiasm, team spirit and a can do attitude to everything you do. I look forward to continuing this journey together.”

- “It has been a fantastically successful 10 years and a huge pleasure working with you. Looking forward to the next 10!”

- “Well done! You’ve made it! Now we tell you what’s really going on...”

- “Wow, 10 years already! The next decade should be even more exciting!”

- “Well done! A great achievement and it’s fantastic to have you here as a colleague!”

I think there’s affection in those messages, and I’m grateful. I’ve been having a bit of a challenging time at work and life, so it’s nice to have the occasional affections and successes.

I decided to buy two Montblanc SLGs with my gift card from work. A credit card holder to carry my work pass, and a business card holder. It feels very appropriate and professional. It matches my classic Montblanc pen case as well and my laptop bag (collage of my black leather Montblanc family below in the end). The leather is smooth and glossy

What awesome messages from your CEO and colleagues Miss Dawn! And a great haul
