Travelling Button Box!! Do you want in??

Do you love buttons too?
Do you have a button collection??

I am starting a Travelling Button Box via 
The one that I will be starting and sending off is Canadian only  
but dont fret!! There are other travelling boxes for other countries as well 
within the same group :)

I am close to Vancouver, BC and the next stop for
the box is all the way across Canada to Richmond Hill, Ontario!

The Canadian list of names is only 3 long, so we are
looking for more Canadian button enthusiasts to pass the box
along to! We would LOVE to keep the box going!

So if you love buttons and have a bunch sitting around at home,
come join the fun! Details can be found HERE

Please be sure to join the group first!

If you dont wish to participate, but love buttons and
have any questions about yours you are curious about or 
would like to learn some new button trivia or crafts using buttons,
feel free to join as well! Dont feel obligated to pass along the box just because 
you are in the group, everyone is welcome!

I will be passing on the Button Box on Thursday to
the next  lady on the list :)

Awesome mail day!

I really love a good mail day!
Especially when it means new supplies for
jewelry making.


In this order of beautiful hand blackened brass findings
were two beautiful hand forged,
hand painted Czech glass buttons.
I thought that they would look lovely next to the
chocolaty brass patina.

I'm going to keep one a secret until the necklace is
revealed but I feel I have to share one!!!
It's just so pretty....


I also got a few gorgeous
filigrees to wrap them with as well!

There are a lot of pretty new jewelry pieces
being created within the walls of Tumblestone Handmakery
at the moment, so dont forget to keep your eye on the shop!

I'm stocking up with jewelry, after the vend at City Blends 
coffee shop when I almost sold right out of a full stock I
havent had the chance to stock up too much
so I'm excited to have the little bit of extra time.

So.... I wonder what that pretty lil'
dragonfly will turn in to!
We'll have to wait and see!

Have an awesome day everyone!!
I'm pulling a 12 hr shift at my day job today...
At least I am able to be online in between customers ;)

I love finding awesome vintage buttons!!

Some of my absolute favorite things are:
Buttons!

I LOVE going to the thrift shop and
finding an old tin or bag full.
This week I made an amazing find - a rare
super large bag of beauties!

I took a photo of my faves of this find's bag:


Arent they just gorgeous!
What a score :)
Buttons make me oddly happy!

A couple of weeks ago I decided to do a search
on buttons and people who appreciate them
and it led me to a crazy awesome blog
What a find! I think it's my new favorite blog!!
I found this photo while looking through 
the blog....

The perfect man.....


Aw man! I laughed so hard, you have no idea how
happy I would be if my husband said that to me!
I'm a total nerd, I know - and I love it!!
