Giveaway Winners and Sewing Buttons in the Sun!


I decided to go outside and sew some buttons in the lovely weather
while my momma mowed the lawn and did a little gardening,
(taking advantage of summer vacation!)


These teeny tiny buttons are glass... They completely
AMAZE me!


I've decided that my little Canvas Button Cards should be
more of what I find in my button box... This "thing"
I imagine on a lovely dress from way back when...
I just love it! And those little China buttons
(the five off to the right) are so, so small!


I finally got around to my giveaway and Marie from Spun By Me won the calendar...
and the Paper Pumpkin won my little crow!
Congratulations :)


More unique black glass...
So interesting and so detailed...


I will be listing these on my Etsy shop today
so keep a lookout for one you think is cute!

Have an awesome rest of your day...
I'm thinking of all of you and yours along the east cost as Irene hits!

Nice to meet you... I love China Buttons


Hello! I'm Alaina and welcome to my blog!
I look forward to sharing some of my quirky collections,
new canvas button cards on my Etsy, and much more with you!


So colorful!
My favorite buttons are China Stencil Buttons, 
as seen by the massive amount I have hoarded in these photographs.


There are sooo many different stencil patterns for these ivory China buttons.
I own a book, Guidelines for Collecting China Buttons...
Whata button nerd!


I love these... The first two (from left to right) are bone.
These little impostors made it into my China collection, because they're so cute!


Oh my! That's me in the middle!


Thank you for stopping by! I hope you'll visit again...
For now I will return to my needle and thread box
to start some new pieces for my next post!
