My precious

July 22nd, 2010

Okay so imagine me talking in a creepy gollum voice . …. It’s exactly the way i feel about the next few buttons i will be posting over the next few days. They are all glass, like this Cameo…. Wowza Trousers (as a ginger friend of mine said this morning) All of the buttons in the next few posts are most of the odzies i found in Hammond .

Makeover

July 20th, 2010

So last summer my favourite skirt started falling apart at the buttons seams. It really was starting to look a little tacky and used. I was trying to find every excuse under the sun not to chuck it away. Eventually i figured it out and the solution was really simple! I pulled off the old fabric buttons, sent it to Levingers to get it dyed navy, sewed on some pretty new navy shanks and Voila ! A Brand new skirt. It’s still my favourite and i think i could get a few more years out of it.
