Dawn's small but well-loved collection

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

Oh gosh, it sounds lovely to be spoiled and loved especially on V-Day — please don’t be embarrassed, just enjoy. Mr Dawn is so good at doing that — you got yourself a very special guy there. I am glad you had a beautiful V-Day evening (before you went back to your work, lol). I am also glad you are not working this weekend. You really need to recharge a bit on the weekend (even just a part of it) so you can be at your best during the week.

What a nice gift you gave to your parents — especially since you made it yourself, I bet it smells awesome. Glad to hear they loved it.

Thanks for sharing these lovely pics of your getaway—we always enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Have a good weekend Miss Dawn

Thank you



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

Unfortunately not yet. He has been sooo bombarded with work stuff, so I am waiting for the RIGHT moment to pounce.....I mean manipulate.....I mean.... ummmm.....drop hints!!

Away for a business trip to Amsterdam that became a long weekend away with Mr Dawn

Pictures from today.

I went to buy the black LV PM that has been on my wish list since the empreinte range was released in the PM, but after trying it out with all my stuff, I realised it has too many design features that aren’t quite perfect for me. So I left it.

What black bag shall I add to my wish list now? Much careful thinking required!

Beautiful scenery Miss Dawn — glad you and Mr Dawn are spending the weekend there. Has the tulip season started there yet?

That’s too bad the black PM did not work out — such a beautiful bag but kinda small, for me at least. I kind of like the black Ponthieu PM (which is a good size bag). I have not tried on the Surene but it looks nice from the pics. There are many great black bag options out there — have fun looking and shopping .

Hi Miss Dawn Sorry the PM didn't work for you. I guess I don't carry that much. I've got my eye on a Tod's D-Styling bag in the mini size but the small might be an option for you. I was told by the SA it's called the D bag because Princess Diana carried it. Anyway I think it's a roomy bag that can be carried on the crook of the arm or crossbody. And the leather is very soft. The lining I'm not crazy about, but no one will see it but me. The lining is kinda old fashioned.

Thank you sweetie You know, I think the Surene should make it on to my “mull list” (prior to potentially going on wish list ). It looks so practical!

Tulip season doesn’t seem to have started yet but I saw some pretty blossoming trees today and we had a great time in the Rijksmuseum. I love museums

Pictures attached!

Thank you ATB! Your PM looks awesome on you (as do most of your bags. And scarves. And outfits. Okay, everything looks awesome on you )

I’ll have to check out the Tod’s. Thank you

I just made some updated superbrand family collages, for pure self-indulgence (because it makes me happy to see all my bags in a group picture )

 

[Miss_Dawn]

I also made two SLG family collages- my Chanel and LV SLGs because they’re getting a lot of wear at the moment.

So many beautiful photos, Miss Dawn! And I love hearing you tell us about your beautiful gift boxes from Mr. Dawn. It’s all very romantic and special!

This hotel is so elegant and lovely. I feel very Jane Austen.

Such beautiful collection photos of your handbags and SLGs, Miss Dawn! I love looking at them all grouped together. I definitely need to keep working on my pink bag collection. Yours are all so gorgeous!

It’s always fun to see your collages and drool over your beautiful collection

Beautiful pictures of Amsterdam! That's so fun you and Mr Dawn got to have a long weekend instead of just a business trip!
