I heart buttons

I love vintage buttons and since I aquired a nice little pile of them recently I thought I'd have a play around. These hair clips are all coming with me to a tiny little craft fair next saturday. It's a fundraiser for my sister's drama group and I've been told there will be a few stalls and lots of tea and cakes!
Sorry for yet another bad picture, I had to take it indoors with the flash and the buttons are all quite shiny!

I also wanted to share with you that Matt had his first assessment as a teaching assistant this week, and he was awarded "consistently excellent" in every category :) Isn't he clever?

Vintage Beauty Swap

I received my beautiful parcel for the vintage beauty swap a few days ago, all the way from America from the lovely Kristin. Everything is gorgeous! It was all so beautifully wrapped (sorry- no pictures- camera wasn't co-operating the day I opened it!) and came with this lovely card.

The jewellery box is wonderful, the perfect place to keep all my little treasures, and it had these lovely gifts inside it as well! And the purse is really beautiful. The pictures don't really do it justice, it's covered in beads and sequins. The tiny bottle is an antiseptic talc with beautiful flowers on the label. Some of the words on it have rubbed off and what is left is so funny to read! It says "For infants and..........toilet. Invaluable...........chafing,.........irritations, sunburn etc...............antiseptic." I love it!

So thankyou very much Kristin! I hope you like your package when it arrives!
