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 ~

Every year at Christmas there is something that I kind of have an obsession about and this year it is vintage Christmas balls and anything with German glass glitter ~

When we were at Canton for our one day ( not near enough time ), another thing that I found was a basket of vintage pink Christmas balls ~ First of all, vintage Christmas balls go for a premium here ~ I saw them for $24 a box of 8 at most places !! Well I was so excited to find this basket full of PINK so I had to ask how much it was even though I figured it would be too expensive ~ It was $30 for the whole basket full including the basket ~ I was sooo excited and snatched it up real quick ~

I washed some of my ugly orange ones I got last year and now they are a gorgeous mercury glass ~ I combined them with my new old pink ones in an apothecary jar ~

Apothecary jars are also one of my favorite things so I have quite a few of them around my house ~ they are wonderful because you can change them for the seasons ~

I also found this petite apothecary jar at Canton this month ~ I just fell in love with it because it is so cute with the vintage pink and white buttons ~
It is available here ~

I love Annie Sloan's Duck Egg Blue paint

The color is so beautiful

and I have never had anything blue

in my home at all ~

These are some jars I found

yesterday and have a really hard time

parting with them .... I guess I don't

need to hoard them ~

I am cleaning and

destashing after all ....
