I'm finding lost treasures!

While making room for my new gifted bearmaking items, I have come across a few treasures that I forgot I had - this one is my favorite - a stash of antique mother of pearl buttons, some of them with beautiful etched designs.   These buttons tell a story of days gone by and they make me smile!

  2. I'm excited for you to receive the mohair, Lyn! It's just as fun to give as it is to receive! Enjoy!
    Hugs,

    I too enjoy digging my old boxes and sometime I do find long forgotten treasures which make me very happy to see them again!

  4. Esther, I'm happy to hear I am not the only one who forgets about those hidden treasures! I have collected antique buttons and lace for so many years and then I forget about them - when they turn up again, I feel just like I did when I first purchased them only this time I promise myself I will use them on a current project instead of putting them away for another decade! xoxo

  9. I have loads of buttons - Victorian & Art Deco in a glass bowl (I swill them around every now and then hoping to disperse any dust which has landed!) I keep meaning to sort out some of them and sew them on velvet to put in a frame - but never get around to it!
