Button Floozies

my friend and fellow crafter...oo'er Alex from the blog http://bigbluebed.blogspot.com/ makes these amazing traditional Dorset buttons these daisy ones have a real modern feel to them http://bigbluebed.blogspot.com/2011/06/button-birthday-giveway.html

I just had to show you these beautiful buttons... I found them a few weeks ago as I antiqued and flea-marketed through Kansas!  The square one on the right is glass ; the top/middle button is mother of pearl set in metal. Have a lovely day! ~Laurie

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

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