Sweet Buttons......




So, I've been debating as to what to do with a 1/2 gallon jar of Buttons that I purchased eons ago at an antique shop. Got my inspiration this week on Flickr when I saw other buttons sewn onto cards so, I finally organized my buttons in muffin tins according to color and voila. Here's what's now for sale in a jar at my store, buttons on cards, fancifully edged with my teen daughter's fun scrapbook scissors.
I'm still trying to focus on what to do with an old Alençon lace wedding dress. The latest suggestion was a shadow box with gloves, the lace backing and anything else of sentimental wedding value. Like the idea but feel that maybe everyone will want their 'own' stuff so that's what's holding me back using my hand me downs or give aways to utilize for this project.
In the mean time, there's another storm on its way. Life is cold outside but life is warm in my heart......
