I found a bambie and a bear from the forest of Hammond.

Look what i found in the woods today. Well actually i went yesterday to Arthur Bales a little family owned business that sells everything from buttons to knitting needles.  I actually went into the shop to buy some wool for a little Yarn Bombing project im planning to do in New York and London. But obviously i came out with more than just wool (I think when i go into a Haberdashery/fabric store i can only compare myself to a dog in a polony factory). Getting back to what i walked out with…. i couldn’t help myself with these adorable teddies, way too sweet. All that fabric is for a quilt, i would like to start making my first quilt ever. My mom sent me this link Where the lady from Obsessively Stitching is showing her readers how to make their first quilt, step by step. Its a really awesome guide and can’t wait to start cutting my blocks. Maybe ill keep you posted with the progress of my quilt. Looks like i have got my hands full with all these awesome projects im getting myself stuck into. Tomorrow ill post the rest of the buttons i found at Arthur Bales.

So the last day i spent in New York i got to go visit a little shop called Tender Buttons. This shop can be found at 143 E, 62nd st close to Lexington ave. They have such an amazing collection of all sorts. A few framed button collage/antique trays. I didn’t spend much time in there because their buttons were pretty expensive and the more time spent, the more ill walk out with. So i literally went straight to the printed shank section and found these. $30 for all of these. Well worth it. Couldn’t help myself with the horses and teddy bears.
