This past Saturday I jumped in my car and took a drive out into the beautiful countryside of Pennsylvania. I came across a lovely field, surrounded by mountains and the most charming miniature log cabin. I want to move into the little house on the hill and live with the fairies! After a series of gorgeous views and winding roadways I found myself at the Kimberton Antique Show. Nothing could have made my sunny afternoon more glorious than the basket loads of
vintage buttons I found at Linda Sarubin's booth. Linda runs an antique store called The Gatchellville Store, (my next country adventure) which houses an assortment of items from the mid 1800's and beyond! I was very tempted to spend every dollar to my name. However, I did leave with a good deal of
hand carved buttons, made from steel, brass, metal and abalone, some dating back to the 1880's. I also picked up a lovely all silver chain purse (pic above), which came with the photograph of that sassy woman blowing a kiss - I love her! I am thrilled to adorn my new dresses and blouses with these delicate artisan made buttons. Please check back soon, as I have been photographing my
vintage inventory, as well as the new
summer time dresses I am making. Etsy will be up and running very soon.
