Buttons

Here she is all ready to go to the Stormville Antique and Flea Market

She loves to go shopping and especially loves Stormville. She find really cute things too!

We went on Saturday and it was Hot! The cool part was the TV station HGTV was there filming for a show Flea Market Finds. I can't wait to see the show because everywhere we went that day there was someone with a camera. I was pouting though because a cabinet I wanted was bought by the show :-(

I didn't buy this tool chest but isn't it cool? We must have walked by it 20 times.

I scored this awesome tin of old buttons and have been having so much fun filtering through.

See the buckle like piece in the back? There were about 5 or 6 of those, they are Mother of Pearl and I am envisioning layering them with some etched copper... hmmm

and here is my cutie again, she wanted to show off her Leopard when she saw I was taking pictures of the buttons she said take my picture mommy. 

Hope you are having a great week!

Button Blog Hop Reveal

Thanks Cindy Wimmer of Sweet Bead Studio for starting this button blog hop, I love buttons!

• 

  
  

My partner sent me more than just these buttons but I forgot to snap a photo of them all.

I made these 2 awesome pairs of earrings with the Vintage button's Kay sent (at least I think they are awesome)

I made these first, they have 6 strands of Vintaj chain with Vintaj corrugate rounds

They are fringy and fun

Then I wanted to add some color:

also fringy but a totally different look

I love the longer dangle in the middle

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out what Kay made with the buttons I sent her.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's!

Button Crazy

After having done a couple button hops I am obsessed with buttons. I love them.
Today hubby, daughter and I went to the Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY.
We had so much fun walking around, looking at yarn, seeing all the sheep, alpacas and lamas, eating great fair food and shopping. For buttons.
I wanted to share with you the buttons and lampwork spacers I bought from 4 lovely artists.

-I grabbed these leaf beads the second I saw her booth. See that tin? It's all taped up. Yep, surprise buttons. I couldn't wait to get home and see them.

12 Buttons in that little tin!

Closer :-)

My Favorite!

EDIT 5:45AM: I totally just realized that that last button shot is a totally cool Macro photo.
Want to see what everyone else took Macro shots of this week? Check out:
