The Arrival of Buttons!

Like you know if you read my last post my dad is currently in Africa. He must have known I would miss him so he set it up that half way through his trip a parcel would be mailed to me!!! What a wonderful father I have. Not only is it great to receive mail, it is great when that mail is a box filled with vintage buttons!!! My collection of buttons is growing and with each new discovery comes this excitement that is beyond any other excitement! I love sifting through the new buttons and looking for pairs, and discovering that the neatest most delightful buttons almost always stand alone, making them even more unique! It might be unhealthy to love something so small and so plastic.... or genuine leather like some of my new buttons.... but it really is a passion for creating and designing that shines through my face! I feel blessed to have the passions God has given me and to be able to make other people happy through the things I create!


Most recently I received a phone call from a family friend who wanted to order some scarves for some teen girls. Over the phone she described to me the unique personality of each girl, their usual style, and a list of their favourite colours. From there I was instructed to have fun, be creative, and use whatever fabric I thought would suit her description. Oh how fun that trip to fabricland was!!! I found the most beautiful fabrics that amazingly matched each description perfectly, one a bright multicoloured pattern that was silky and soft, matched with possibly the coolest multicoloured buttons I have ever seen, and the other a more tame neutral palate with rich blues, greys, whites, and blacks blended into a stunning, very sophisticated pattern, paired with grey metal looking buttons. Very classy. Very Fun. I hope they love them as much as I did!

Thats all that has been up lately. Maybe if you ordered things too I would tell stories about you!!! Just Kidding! Love you all. Thanks for supporting me and reading my blog!
