  1. Hi Avery!
    It is very nice to meet you. I am a follower of your mother's blog and now yours too. I can see by your cute blog that even though you did not inherite her hand writing, you did inherite her wonderful sense of style! I love the header and your collection of china buttons! I am off to have a look at your etsy shop now!

  14. Welcome Avery!
    I'm a huge fan of your mom's talented work and I can now see that it runs in the family. I can appreciate your love of buttons . . . I remember as a child always admiring the buttons in my mom's button box. She kept them in an empty greeting card box with little kitties on it. I now have that box of buttons and love the memories that go with it. I wish you much success with your blog and Etsy site, sweetie!

    Smiles,
    Deb :o)
