Hello dear faces, found these in a scratch patch they are glass shanks with apples very delicately painted on them. They are very small about half the size of your fingernail. They look quite old not sure how old though.
Just so you know i won’t be around for a few days as im getting married this weekend, so ill be busy busy. Buttons for once will be the second thing on my mind. So cross your fingers and hope that it doesn’t rain.

Thanks to Gwen and Judith they inspired me to post some more blue buttons, since they loved the ones i posted on Saturday. I found these all together stuffed into a tiny bag in an awesome warehouse type shop in Canada. Holy smokes awesome warehouse with everything vintage/old/antique/awesome you can find in one place . If i had enough money i would buy the whole shop and still love everything in it. I mean everything. I love the ‘?’ buttons.

Between Angie and i we just find the most awesome stuff in Pary’s. The cutest little town that is close enough for a quick trip out of town to do some vintage shopping. I almost walked straight passed the store, thank goodness i took a second take. The shop also has the most amazing 100% cotton for (quilting). I had to beg her her to dig through her draws because i so knew i would find some left over buttons in there somewhere. This is what i found, HELLO!

This last week satruday Angie and Deej did an awesome job of my bachelorette party. I got to hit a pony pinata (shame), dance till my neck hurt, eat tonnes of yummy cupcakes, got pushed in the pool and Every single present i opened had tonnes of buttons flowing out of the parcel. It was so much fun. Got so many awesome goodies, Thank you to everyone who came!

This tin was filled with all the buttons from the gifts i had opened. Wow i have so much more sorting out to do now. Don’t you just love the yellow basket button, too amazing, thank you sis.

Karen made me these undies which i thought were especially cute. They are too awesome to wear although i think i might pick the buttons off to hold and stroke.

Pants made the awesome blue brooches for everyone to wear and Deej made these cute reusable tea bags to say thank you to the guests.

The Poor Pony Pinata bleeding yummy chocolates and shots of alcohol, on the right is my cousin twice removed she was wearing a little crochet dress that my great grandmother made for me, so it was so nice to see how it still lives, needless to say by the end of the day it was covered in that chocolate cup cake. Thanks pants for these two amazing pictures.
