Dawn's small but well-loved collection

[Miss_Dawn]

I’ve worked till 11pm every day this week and I’m knackered!

Today, I left early after a conference and we went away for the weekend. Mr Dawn gave me my ‘box’ and it is just perfect. I love everything!

- LV Kirigami SLGs
- the YSL Pale Gold WOC I had my heart set on
- caramel cookies and Ferrero Rochers
- rose gold water bottles
- rose gold travel jewellery case
- Swarovski Tiffany Blue pen
- Parker Sonnet Fountain and Ballpen
- so many Diptyque goodies, including this year’s limited edition roses candles - Damascus and Grasse roses!!

My cup of happiness runs over

Happy (early) Valentine’s, my friends

Away for Valentine’s weekend

Here is my Coco Handle who wanted to come with me sitting on top of Mr Dawn’s annual Valentine’s box of presents

What an epic Valentine’s Day Haul Miss Dawn. And to think Mr Dawn does this every year — beyond impressed. He is just the best (I know I have said it before but I mean it every single time). I am in love with that blue pen — so fancy with the crystal/jewel. And you are lucky to have scored the Kirigami set (so hard to find). And your new WOC is perfect (great decision to get this one instead of the JC (?) one earlier). I hope you have a fantastic get away and Happy Valentine’s Day .

Wow so many great goodies and he gift wrapped everything too!! I think that little touch of gift wrapping is so touching! You got yourself a great one Miss Dawn!
And this is only your 2nd favorite box? Gosh what goodies were in your favorite box if that's not too personal to ask?

That he gift wrapped all those boxes is very impressive and sweet!!!

Now before carrying on with the bags by designer/collection, let's stop and do an ode to pink & red

Beautiful!!!!!!! I can't believe @RuedeNesle didn't see this yet. She would prob pass out then try to grab some of your bags through the screen!!! Hahahah!

The picture of red SLGs in the bottom left hand side of the collage has been blurred out slightly. That's because each of the items is hot stamped in gold lettering, with my name. I bought these at an unknown leather shop abroad. I have a few items like that: non-branded leather accessories that remind me of sun-drenched, noisy, riotously colourful souks in Marrakech or Istanbul etc

What? Miss Dawn isn't your real name?

Thank you so much Iam!
I’m really glad I didn’t settle for the Choo clutch, and I’m really pleased to have this one. It feels a bit too opulent though- definitely only party/wedding wear

Happy Valentine's! Have a sweet time away and enjoy all your beautiful gifts when you get back! This is so sweet your husband does all this! What a sweet tradition!

Thank you @tealocean
I really want to put a cartridge in the Sonnet FP and try it out! I love red pens with gold hardware. (Is “hardware” the right term for pens?! )

You’re so cute ATB!

Your black PM is the handbag that is solidly on my wish list this year... now I’m all satisfied with so many goodies and it will be ages till I commit to the PM!

I love the fact that he wraps everything even though he’s not good at wrapping and it must take him ages! It’s very cute

My favourite box was part of an amazing few days. About 5 years ago. On V day itself, he gave me three kinds of roses (a small potted bush, a bouquet, and a single long stemmed rose) and we went for dinner and theatre. On the weekend, I opened the box and a helium balloon flew out. It had lots of little presents, and two pieces of jewellery - a blue topaz ring, and a four-row diamond cluster half eternity cocktail ring. We were staying in an amazing place and when I opened the curtains there was an immense green lawn and I just felt amazing. We’d been going through a tough time with some family health issues at the time, and I still remember the huge relief and respite I felt. So that box is really special in my memories. But this one is a pretty great runner up

That he gift wrapped all those boxes is very impressive and sweet!!!

Sunshine Mama isn’t your real name?

He's so thoughtful and imaginative. He should teach a "How to Treat Your Wife" seminar to other husbands

Yeah! I really wanted to show my DH Miss Dawn's pics of her Valentine's gifts, but I decided not to. It seemed too pushy and seemed like comparing the DHs!

There wasn't a fainting gif good enough for all the beautiful (and beautifully wrapped) gifts from your wonderful, thoughtful DH.
Mr. Dawn: Mic drop!

Yeah, you need to think of a more subtle and sneaky way

Did Mr Sunshine take the hint which I’m sure you managed to find a subtle way to drop in?

What a week!!

So, last weekend was lovely. We were away in the UK, just for a weekend getaway, and it was marvellously relaxing. A small collage of our hotel and the park is attached

This week was more than ordinarily insane. I have lots of deadlines. So even if I had evening commitments like my book club, I ended up working afterwards from home!

On Valentine’s Day Mr Dawn said he wanted to go for dinner and I said I’d try to get out of work! After being (just a bit ) late, he met me outside work with a single rose and a small present (Swarovski bracelet). I felt very lucky. After dinner, we walk back to the car and he pulled out a dozen red roses ( @musiclover ).

By this time I felt a bit overwhelmed.

Then we got home and he had two heart balloons flying in the lounge with a tiny teddy bear next to them.

By this time I felt embarrassed with how spoiled I felt!!

I think he wanted to spoil me rotten because I’m working too hard. It was lovely.

And what did I do after all this? I signed back on to my network and worked till midnight

I’m Dawn and I’m a workaholic

However I’m putting my foot down and not working this weekend

In other news, we made a candle at home with frangipani and Lily of the Valley essential oils a couple of weeks ago. I just gave it to my parents and my dad called this morning to say it’s awesome and he is burning it already. That makes me happy Here is the candle we made.

And yes I’m thoroughly off topic again
