Vintage buttons upcycled.


These beautiful blue buttons from France were found in a little country shop that was closing down. I'm so lucky to have good friends who have an eye for a great button find! The bracelet is now listed for sale in hundredsofbuttons' etsy shop.

Cherry pipping


Isn't this the best little tool? When we were kids we used to take all the stones out of cherries when we were bottling! Can you imagine the stained fingers?

I sent a handmade necklace in lilac, to Leeanne. I received a lovely selection of covered and colour matched buttons from Andria. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody else's surprises!

Guess these 3 MESTup sellers...



Melbourne Etsy Street Team met up for lunch. Can you guess which MESTers relate to these 3 photos? Here are some clues: one makes neck warmers, one doesn't charge enough for her pearl earrings, and one makes art smocks. Ah, you want a prize!  OK speak nicely to me, leave me a comment, and I'll see what I can do.

Choker, princess or matinee?


 A cake from the church fete,

an afternoon with navy blue buttons,


 and I'm done!



One collar length, one choker length, one princess length, one matinee length and a bracelet!
