I was going through my button stash over the weekend and decided that I had more buttons than I will ever use. So, I thought I would put a few of my favorites onto cards and offer them in the shop, just for fun. Don't they look like candy? I hope all of you had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Happy Tuesday!
Happy Mother's Day, everyone! I hope all of you have a relaxing, peaceful, lovely weekend. I wish I had a more appropriate picture for the occasion, but this was the best I could do. (Plus I had to show you that little plaid puppy! Click on the picture for a better view.) Enjoy the weekend and I'll check back in next week!
XO,

So, as promised, here are a few of my favorite yard sale finds. I couldn't believe how lucky I was. I'm never this lucky. Anyway, it's funny how well these things ended up going together. I didn't mean for that to happen. But I guess that idea of buying what you like and it all working together actually makes sense. I found a few other things as well, including a few Christmas items (it's never too early to start, right?) and a couple of aprons. When I was buying the aprons, the man took my money, handed me the aprons and said, "Now you need to get to work." Pretty funny. So, that's what I'm about to do. Take care and have a great week, everyone!
I love pinking shears. If I had my way, I'd pink anything in sight. When I was little, I even asked my mother to pink my bangs. Sadly, she didn't, but that would've rocked. I was so pleased when my mother-in-law gave me these shears belonging to her mother. They were still in the box, with "May 29, 1963" written in pencil on the side. They look to never have been used and cut beautifully. I love bits of family history like this. They lend character and somehow bring you closer to those you never knew.
I still owe you pictures from last week's yard sale adventures. I'm headed to a few more sales tomorrow, so I hope to have plenty to show you next week. Please check back! Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
