Dawn's small but well-loved collection

[Sunshine mama]

What a week!

It’s properly summer now, so my wardrobe is pretty much lightweight blouses and cashmere cardigan strung over my shoulders (London... never risk not having a layer ). It’s nice when the season changes and you feel physically lighter!

My roses are blooming like mad. And my lavender is running amok too.

Work is challenging. Let’s not talk about it

I feel like a social butterfly this week. I had a book club meeting on Tuesday night, mini golf / drinks / dinner on Wednesday night, a dinner that went on for hours on Thursday, getting home at midnight to pack (ooops ) and then up at 5 am to travel to another office. Party on Friday night, and away with Mr Dawn this weekend. Lots of lying around sleeping on picnic blankets is clearly indicated

Here are my roses (I took these photos a couple of weeks ago ) and my lazy pink Chanel lolling around on the river bank in the summer sunshine.

Have a lovely weekend, my friends

Golly!!!! Your roses are a knockout!!!
Your bag looks really peaceful in that scenario!

That Mr. Dawn is just too perfect! Good for you on finding a keeper

Thank you!

Although as I explained on this thread at some point, I think Mr Dawn shouldn’t get too much credit for the weekly bouquet

You see, I often work longer hours than him, and so he tends to do the weekly grocery shopping without me. And while he’s doing grocery shopping, he buys me flowers too. So it’s very simple and routine and he shouldn’t get credit for it

The roses are doing really well, thank you And yes, my bag enjoyed itself on it’s rambles last weekend

I think Mr Dawn should get double credit for buying groceries and flowers . Have a great week Miss Dawn

You’re so funny, sweetie Iam

Okay, I’ll give him a little credit. But only a little

Oh no I’m sick with a cold And I’m too busy to take time off! Now what will I do?

My CEO wants to meet tomorrow I’m always apprehensive when she wants to meet because she’s always at least 10 steps ahead of me and asking me to challenge myself more, but I think this is an operational meeting about hiring someone, not a long mentoring session! Last month, she cleared one morning and we had a 2-hour coffee. I’m not even sure what we talked about.

I hope I feel better soon colds suck!

Oh No, what a bummer to have a cold. I hope you feel better. I am sure your meeting with the CEO will be fine. You got this one, ok? Try to go to bed soon (I know you are very busy with work but a little extra rest will help you feel better). Take care

Maybe if you tell the CEO that you've caught a cold and you don't want to give it to her your meeting can be rescheduled? I would certainly appreciate a heads up from someone I was going to meet if they told me they had a cold and reschedule. Hope you get well quickly Miss_Dawn. Send Mr Dawn out for zinc (Zicam in America) medications and soup!

Thank you both

ATB, good advice! I’ve emailed, asking if the meeting is time sensitive. If it is, I’ll do by call, otherwise I’ll reschedule.

And miserable. Can’t take time off though, so I’ll have to work really hard from home

Mr Dawn is also sick. He’s the one I caught the cold from!

Oh no! Do you have Amazon prime? Or some other company? Maybe you can order a zinc cold medication from online with 1 day delivery for the both of you? Take care the Dawn household! Zinc medication if taken soon enough in the cold cycle will speed up recovery.

Happy Birthday Miss Dawn Hope you have a wonderful birthday week

Happy Birthday Miss Dawn Hope you have a wonderful birthday week

Thank you so much sweetie

It’s been insanely busy and I’ve been working long hours from home notwithstanding my short but violent cold. It made me absolutely miserable for 72 hours, and then I started feeling human again! Much better now

For my birthday, Mr Dawn found another item on my black caviar SLG wish list We went looking for this one before but it wasn’t available but he found me one It’s a little black Chanel mini pochette.

Also a few other things A pink Prada vanity case that came with a perfume (SO pretty!)

Lots of perfumes, including Le Labo 31 Rose shampoo, body lotion (I also have the conditioner) and the perfume. Smells divine.

And Chanel Gabrielle, Chanel Coco Madameoiselle plus Prada La Femme.

Also a mix of other things, e.g. skincare and small stationery treats, silk pillowcases and a peach candle (didn’t photoraph some things - they’re already around the house!)

Very happy

Happy Birthday dear Miss Dawn. Yippee for all your birthday goodies . Mr Dawn did it again — tracked down a hard to find item on your wishlist. The CC pochette is so elegant and a perfect piece to add to your black caviar family. And all your other gifts are so pretty and lovely. That pretty pink cosmetic case is so you . Congrats on and enjoy all your goodies. And have a wonderful birthday week and month
