Thank you for sharing your lovely news. Love everything.Hello my friendsI haven’t been on the forum very much recently. No particular reason - I just haven’t bought any bags recently so haven’t had much relevant news
Mr Dawn and I have both been quite busy at work. I’m feeling a bit flat at work. It’s kind of okay, but I’m just not very excited and buzzing at the moment. Ups and downs!
I have been focused on a lot of home improvements and purchases going into this autumn. We’ve been organising everything right left and centre! Lots of areas in the house are looking much nicer, but it’s an ongoing process! Today we’ve been organising the spare room cupboard and linens - I’m all about the fun
Mr Dawn gave me a Dyson Supersonic Airwrap. It cost more than a Chanel SLG, madnessBut I love it. And then I needed more storage space, so he gave me a new shelf for my dressing area
With voice activated lighting and one of those sensor-activated true-sunlight Simplehuman mirrors for my dressing table. I love gadgets! Happy days
Here is a bit of a photo diary of the past month.
1) Photo 1. After seeing all the impressionist art in Paris this August, I had an itch to go back to the National Gallery. So while Mr Dawn was working one weekend, I spent the whole day rambling through the art with an audio guide. I enjoyed it immensely
2) Photo 2. Can you believe I still have roses in October? These are from last week.
3) Photo 3. A few small pictures of my new shelf. Very happy with it.
4) Photo 4. We’ve been experimenting with different ways of brewing our coffees on the weekend. Besides using our machine, mostly, here’s a couple of weekend breakfast pictures- one with a takeaway coffee and weekend Laduree Macarons as a treat, and another of making our own coffee this morning in my new Bodum cafetière and matching Le Creuset milk jug. Why am I so matchy matchy?
5) Photo 5. For our engagement anniversary, I got the new Saint Laurent perfume. It came with a cosmetics bag and notebookHere’s a photo.
What a long catch-up post. I hope all my friends are doing well

Your beautiful pictures are such a happiness maker!
Just wanted to stop by and say that I have greatly enjoyed looking through this thread, and reading your latest update. Lovely collection and beautiful pictures! 
So lovely to get your update Miss Dawn . You have been missed for sure. Really enjoyed your new photo collages (no one makes photo collages as well as you ). Your roses are still as beautiful as ever. I love that you and Mr Dawn celebrate your engagement anniversary — so romantic and sweet. And kudos to Mr Dawn for all the new tech gadgets he put in for you — what a sweetheart he is . And finally, work and life are often full of ups and downs, here’s to work picking up again for you real soon.

Hi Miss Dawn! Thank you for sharing all this beauty with us. Your day at the museum sounded heavenly, and I always enjoy seeing your roses and all the beautiful photos you take! You know I love that candle light!Hello my friends

I hope work feels more inspiring and you keep inspiring others there. Autumn is such a time of change. I hope this brings you a fresh routine you love even more than the last! And oh how wonderful organizing is. I am doing that slowly here and feel like I will never be done, but it's okay. You look back and see how it's better and better and more of what you need it to be right now. Enjoy all the beauty, and thank you so much for sharing bits of it with us.
That’s very sweet, thank you!

Awww. What a nice thing to say. Especially when your photography is so beautiful
Happy to hear I’m spreading a little happiness Just wanted to stop by and say that I have greatly enjoyed looking through this thread, and reading your latest update. Lovely collection and beautiful pictures!
Thank you so much @Purses & Perfumes Sadly I’m rarely on topic but my friends indulge me in sharing all sorts of random things
Thank you for the lovely compliments!So lovely to get your update Miss Dawn
@Iamminda sweetie, I’ve missed you
Yes, I know my roses are such a blessing. They provide so much happiness all year. We often forget our engagement anniversary and then remember later, but this year he remembered the day! Thank you for the reassurance about work Mr Dawn is in Paris for work right now
Poor me Hi Miss Dawn! Thank you for sharing all this beauty with us. Your day at the museum sounded heavenly, and I always enjoy seeing your roses and all the beautiful photos you take! You know I love that candle light!

@tealocean sweetie, what a lovely message. Thank you for the compliments and the reassurance. Agreed, it’s very satisfying to be organising things but I know how you feel that it just feels like progress in getting the whole house done is so slow!
You're welcome, @Miss_Dawn. (I tried to quote your message but for some reason the quote feature did not work for me this time.)
Regarding being off-topic, I actually think it's so nice that you share not only your super handbag collection, but also other aspects of your life - beautiful vacation pictures, yummy pastries, roses, books and other updates.
Oh, and speaking of books - another Agatha Christie fan here!
I have all her books and I used to debate over which one of her sleuths is my favorite - Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple or one of the others. I think on the whole, Poirot wins by a whisker.....or should I say mustache?

Definitely Poirot! At this moment I’m listening to an audio book of Death on the Nile as I get ready for work. Comfort reads

I would love to enjoy this stunning view everyday — feels like you are living in a house in some fairytale land
. Have a great rest of the week Miss Dawn 
WOW! I'm in drought weather So. California, so this looks like a beautiful mirage of green to meView from my Juliet balcony this morning
Ah, I recall that book - what a plot Poirot had to unravel! I think I will go select one of his books to re-read this weekend.That’s very sweet of you, thank you.

That’s such a cute idea. A fairytale land with lots of roses
And a balcony from the kitchen which strategically opens up from where I have my coffee machine (that bit is real life Because what’s the point of a fairytale garden if you can’t have a lovely coffee as you gaze on it? 
)WOW! I'm in drought weather So. California, so this looks like a beautiful mirage of green to me
Thank you dear ATB
