Cottage & Family:
vintage buttons

Here is a simple
Valentine's Day idea!

We found these hearts
at Hobby Lobby and
embellished them
with vintage laces,
vintage buttons
and crinkled ribbon ~

Super Simple & Sweet!

I just adore vintage buttons and skeleton keys
so I collect them everywhere I go ~

Last year I bought one of Dawn from The Feathered Nest's tutorials,
I love them all !
I wanted to play with some of the vintage buttons and skeleton keys so I made
little picture holders using old salt and pepper shakers ~

This is also some lace that was added to my website last night~
It is wrapped around a tea dyed stamped tag that is ohhhh so cute !

If you would like to purchase the little picture holders or lace cards
you can find them in our Vintage Finds Category ~

I tried to take some pics to show you of my first day at Canton ~ Wednesday is the day when alot of people that have businesses go to buy so it is pretty crazy ~ the good thing about selling here is that there are always eager people to help you unload your car ~ this is a picture of people waiting at the back of a ladies car just ready to unload it for her and see what she brought ~ it is just a tad bit stressful because the buyers aren't very friendly when they are on the hunt for treasures !!

I love chippy things although I didn't buy these ~ maybe I will see if they are left tomorrow ~

Do you need a chair to make over ?? Here are just a few ....

Here is a sneak peek of some of the things that I bought but it was dark when I took the pictures so they aren't that great ~

Until tomorrow ......

Every Monday at Make Mine Pink we do a show and tell on our blogs ~

Last night after the house was empty from our Mother's day BBQ, I decided to work on some soldered charms and have wanted to do something for some vintage buttons that have been around for awhile ~

I just love old buttons because they remind me of my grandma ~ she always had baby jars full of buttons and everything was color coordinated ~ my sister and I used to love looking at all the different colors and shapes ~ Now my mom has all of those wonderful baby jars full of not only buttons but memories ~

These are vintage jars that I found at flea markets filled with old buttons ~ the button charms have glass glitter and the largest soldered charm has a vintage crystal hanging from it ~

The button jar charms are available in our jewelry category to tie on your own button jar ~
