I collect antique and vintage buttons and I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone use a valuable button in a craft which they sell for less than the collectible value of the button! To make matters worse it was constructed in a manner which destroyed the button. It's truly a shame but I'm so VERY happy to see that you tie and wire on your buttons and parts. Keep up the good work!!!Thrifty Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654655425410999168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323232805417552588.post-8361555688157207342012-03-21T15:27:45.430-07:002012-03-21T15:27:45.430-07:00I might make them for others but for myself..........I might make them for others but for myself....... not sure!

I am a new email subscriber too, found you through Jembellish. Can't wait to troll through your site and make some fun stuff! Thanks!<br /><br />Ever so often I run a post on my blog that shows others what I've found on the web lately.

It's a nice little combination.....a flower and the tool to help water the flower. :-) Also, I am always glad for a good safety lecture (see my "about me" section on my blog and you'll see why!!) :-) I mde the mistake of picking up a really spectacular old white chippy table last summer....and before I thought twice about it I took a sander to it........BAD idea. I stopped mid-sanding and had a DOH!! moment. Tested it for lead and found it was filled to the brim. Definitely a good (and kinda scary) lesson in refinishing old furniture.

I can do that, yes way.<br /><br />I don't like when eye-glass-wearing rabbits disapprove with me. At all. But I can see why they would in this case especially. Safety is so important! And it's nice to know that you care enough about us, your fellow crafters, to give us this important lesson.
