Button Floozies

Hello! It's been a long time since I've posted anything on here! I'm still a tried and true button floozy. There's no going back. ;) I have lots of pictures to share with you! I'm still swappin' up a storm and buttons are ALWAYS included in the packages. If you just can't stand it and want to see some pictures of the buttons included in my swap packages now, look here . I promise to come back and share some pictures soon. But! I've come to share other exciting news with you. I've been blogging for 3 years. Yay! To celebrate, I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog . I'm giving away 3 whimsy packets, which include buttons! Of course! :) These are the 3 packets: A sweet cello baggie filled with ephemera: and other goodies like... like... vintage Whitman cards, an umbrella rubber stamp, a silk rose: and! a play pack with some of my favorite craft embellishments (hello! buttons!): flowers, heart rhinestones, self-adhesive pearls, a book plate, a bird ...

I attended the Colorado State Button Society's Annual Show this past weekend, and have posted way too many button photos on my blog! I cordially invite you to visit !

Don't forget: if you're near Denver, Colorado this weekend, it's the Colorado State Button Society's Annual Show! We'll have the best selection of antique, vintage, modern, unusual, and BEAUTIFUL buttons for sale by national vendors...as well as educational displays, competition trays, and workshops!  Plus, the chance to rub elbows with fellow button-lovers.  So. Much. Fun.  I hope to see you there! -- Laurie

oh my goodness how cute is this little fox button? very very VERY!

Leah loves sorting buttons. She also looks for ones that she can use on the clothes she makes for her dolls.

I attended my Colorado State Button Society's Entering and Judging Workshop Saturday, and as a reward for studying button classifications all morning, members had a button sale in the afternoon! Some of my goodies are posted on my blog this morning -- come and see !  And, while you're there, please peek at the pretty buttons on the flyer I did as Publicity Chair of the CSBS, too in the post just before it, also here .

I bought 2 jars of buttons at a thrift shop and found these pretty pink ones.
