Holiday in Provence

I had a wonderful holiday in Paris, Avignon and Prague. Lots of colours, history and food to feast the eyes on.  The world is becoming a much smaller place with many international goods available here in Australia.  It's hard to find those unique pieces to bring home.  It's so important to have our artist and crafts people making one off special creations rather than all the mass production.  We need to support them so we have a difference and a style if our own - not something you see everywhere.

Buttons and Trim

 

New vintage style rayon seam binding co-ordinated with a beautiful shell button.  Each button has a decal of a rose, lily or shepherd and shepherdess.  The buttons vary in design and are at least 30 years old.  I have been sorting through my stash and have found these treasures.

The early visit to Byron Bay

A wonderful weekend was spent with stitching friends in the cottages at the Byron Bay lighthouse.
Sunrise was spectacular and so was the clear blue sky with the afternoon moon peeping through.
Not much stitching done by me but a good book finished and plenty of talking!

New Sparkley Buttons

The buttons are approximately 2.5cm. They are all clear stones set in silver metal. GORGEOUS! They are perfect for using on garments or beautiful used in jewelry - either with or without the shank. Incorporate them into a collage with other buttons and jewelry parts. They are great for inclusion into crazy patchwork and vintage embroidery.

These are beautiful high end buttons. “MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA” they are from a store going out of business so they won’t last forever. When they are gone, there won’t be any more.
