vintage button tree

so this is what i made last week - i'm really pleased with it -
it took an awful lot of buttons and pins but i LOVE it!


vintage button tree - wooden spool tree - thimble tree & knitting nancy


my favourite buttons of the moment
green daisies and baby blue bambies
and you can just see the bakelite swallow too.

Whow this is great! If I would make a tree with the buttons I can find over here it would be a gray brownish one :-(

Oh how cute is that? What beautiful buttons, and I love the "snow" effect of the white buttons. And what a cute clothespin doll?(is that what it is?) How funny, I just made some Christmas trees the last couple days with old quilt pieces,buttons,rickrack, and wooden spools! I'm posting them this evening, LOL!

LOVE the Christmas tree...stumbled upon your site from someone else's blog, and am enjoying your projects. What did you use for the base of the tree? I have a ton of buttons...even have a couple of the swallows, but I think they're a different color...hmmm...now where on earth did I put those??? *elaine*
