| Today I've impressed myself beyond belief with | | | | buttons and retro button. I was really impressed |
| my crafting goodness! As it is mother's day soon, | | | | by the fact that everything I wanted was right |
| I feel it's about time I made an extra special | | | | there! It offers a wide range of everything crafty |
| effort for my mother bear. I've been | | | | you could possibly ever imagine, from sewing |
| brainstorming ideas all week, and failing miserably. | | | | patterns to vintage fabrics. I was really happy |
| And then one day last week I was customizing | | | | with their collection of vintage buttons and the |
| the vintage buttons on my cardigan, when I | | | | craft packs that Spinster's Emporium had to |
| began to think of the beauty of the gold vintage | | | | offer. I even bought myself a "button it" pack to |
| buttons, and then that was it, it hit me! I had the | | | | make myself a little something, when I received |
| idea of making something handmade and truly | | | | my "button it" pack, I was happy to read that |
| individual, and so I came to the idea making her a | | | | each and every single one of these fabulous |
| vintage gold button necklace. I couldn't believe I'd | | | | vintage gold buttons had individually hand selected. |
| thought of something so quirky, retro and special | | | | I might not just stop at my mum this year, after |
| just like that! I mean it really is so simple. | | | | discovering this wonderland of retro goodies I'm |
| So once I'd gotten the chance I began the wild | | | | already planning a vintage patchwork quilt for my |
| goose chase, searching for these retro buttons, | | | | grandmother's birthday. When I was young she |
| and because I really wanted them to be | | | | taught me how to sew my buttons back on, |
| authentic, I'd gone to town and back looking all | | | | and since then I've never stopped sewing. I think |
| over for them, I searched high and low for glass | | | | this would be the most ideal present for her, with |
| buttons, vintage buttons, gold buttons, military | | | | the vintage buttons embellished within the retro |
| buttons…the whole lot! But no such luck. Was it | | | | quilt, It will be a lovely way to remind her of how |
| really too much to ask? | | | | grateful I am of her dressmaking knowledge she's |
| Anyway, so I finally discovered the online | | | | shared. And if she's not completely happy with |
| company Spinsters Emporium, where I managed | | | | my efforts of a vintage patchwork quilt, I'm sure |
| to order all of the vintage gold buttons, glass | | | | she'll appreciate one of the craft packs. |
