Vintage love......

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well. I'm still working on my little Christmas wall hanging. I hope to have more to share tomorrow.

Tonight I wanted to share a few vintage notions that I have collected during my garage sale ventures this summer. This is just a small little grouping. I have A LOT of vintage notions. I will share more at a later date. I don't want to show them all at once. You just don't get to appreciate them as much that way. Here they are....I hope you like them.

I am also participating in the Pincushion Pass. I had made a pincushion a while ago for Krista and gave a sneak peak here. But then I thought it needed a bit more work. So, I ended up making a whole new one. A better one, in my opinion. So here is another sneak peak. It's going out in the mail tomorrow. Sorry Krista, for sending it this late. I will send it Express.

Hugs

Ariane

Buttons, Buttons and more Buttons!!

Hi everyone! I don't know if you know this yet, but I love buttons. Especially vintage buttons. Every time I see buttons at a thrift shop or yard sale, I usually buy them. Unless they are extreamly expensive. I'm always looking for a deal. I usually get a ziplock bag of vintage buttons for about $2.00. Sometimes they are in jars. But I always love them. They are in all colors and sizes. I just love the look at them and sort them, then mix them back up again.

I also have a bunch of vintage buttons still on their original cards from the stores. I love to see the labels on these. When I started organizing stuff in my sewing room, I decided to buy some old jars from a thrift store to store some of my buttons. Here's a pic of the jars I bought. The four bigger ones were $0.99 and the little one was only $0.29. Pretty good deal eh!!!
