Etsy Handmade Dayton Show "BLOOM"

What a busy Saturday we all had.

Our local Dayton Etsy artist had a

spring show called

BLOOM.

It was supposed to be an outdoor garden event but cold temps and rain forced us to switch gears and move inside.

over 20 ladies had their handmade items displayed all over, event creator Julie C's (Steph's Jewels)house.

Sorry the photos do not do every ones items justice but please visit the ladies shops via their links!

We have such wonderful talent here in

Dayton, Ohio!

Heaven on Earth Emporium

A few months ago a new antique store opened in our town and when I went in for the first time I was mesmerized. Donna Blackmon, the owner, has done a wonderful job putting her items in color coordinating displays as well as themes. Some of my friends say there is to much and it is overwhelming but I find myself just standing in front of the different displays enjoying all the items displayed together. It makes me want to buy several pieces instead of just the one. I have so many images that I will post about her shop for several days.

I love white so I am starting with her white collections.

I wish my girls were little again and I could put some of this stuff in their rooms.

I have a linen addiction and I just love looking at work like this. Am I weird? If we didn't have TV and Internet maybe more of us would still be sitting by the fire in the evenings practicing our needle skills... Or maybe not.

How about this collection. Beautiful baby gown, and more linens! I know our economy isn't at it's best but I hope enough people just can't leave her store without purchasing a few items and Donna is able to keep the store she has worked so hard for open!

I will feature different color themes over the next few weeks. If you see something you are interested in that you collect, you can reach Donna at heavenonearthemporium@yahoo.com.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my images as much as I have.
