I haven't been able to stitch very much lately as the nerve endings in my fingers have been affected by the Chemo therapy so I've enjoyed just looking through all the threads and vintage buttons in the shop's stash instead. My brain is turning over crazily with new ideas for next year when I hope my fingers will be better and can keep up the pace.

I couldn't resist playing with some of my favourite things, most of which I use in my crazy patchwork. On the plate is Mokuba pink ruffle ribbon and a selection of Au Ver A Soie silk threads, gorgeous vintage German glass buttons and pearls.

Why not visit my Buttons and Treasure pages and select some of the rare buttons for your stash. They are hard to find in such mint vintage condition.
