Sweet treasures ~

We had a nice, relaxing Sunday afternoon. My husband and I went to see a wonderful couple that we have purchased antiques from in the past. They are both so sweet. And married for fifty-two years! And you can still see the love in their eyes. We were able to buy a few items from them today, one being this wonderful shoe pincushion that I fell in love with! I had to share it with you.
(You know I have to keep this!)

I was talking about my artwork and somehow we got on the subject of buttons and how I love them. Well she went to get her personal collection and told me to go through them and pick out whatever I wanted! Oh, joy! You know I loved doing that. I found many that I loved and we slipped them in a bag. Then she said she wanted to just give those to me, not sell them ~ I couldn't believe it! So here are some photos of the beauties for you to enjoy.
Thank you Ms Beverly!

Below is a glimpse of my next project I want to put together. I've had this in my mind for so very long and finally found the right suitcase that I could use. I can't wait to show this one to you when it's finished!

Here are some buttons that I already had in my collection that I've chosen for upcoming art projects ~ aren't they like little jewels?

Have you ever heard of Grandmother's Buttons? It's a beautiful store that has an amazing selection of buttons and button jewelry. Below are a few photos from their site but you must visit and see all the wonderful pieces that they offer!

Thank you all so, so much for the kind words you have said in your comments left for my giveaway. I enjoy blogging because of you!

I've recently been given awards by several sweet bloggers and I just had to tell you how much I appreciate that! I'm so sorry that I haven't gotten around to posting about them quite yet . . .

Thank you all so very much for stopping by to see me!
