Vintage Keys, locks, buttons

This weekend we traveled to upper Pennsylvania near the mountains for just a little road trip. We ran into a flea market and I grabbed some great items. This old atlas jar and an old glass Skippy Peanut Butter jar were only $5.00 full with buttons. There were half the jar of beautiful MOP buttons.

Antique Pin Cubes

I just bought off of Ebay these gorgeous antique pin cubes. How great and they still have a lot of pins still in the cubes.

I can not wait to receive them.

Thread Catcher

I saw this tutorial on how to make this little thread catcher. I loved it because you can fold it up and take it with you. It was easy to make except my sewing machine gave me a problem so I hand sewn it.

Anyone want to do a Gift Exchange

I am so in the mood to do a gift exchange. I ordered a lot of great fabrics from the Mas d'Ousvan line and French General flax fabric as well.
If anyone wants to do an exchange with me just email me: teresacline1@yahoo.com


Button Card

I printed this button card and added antique pearl buttons. My printer needed to be cleaned and there is ink on the sides but it actually looks like an old used button card.


Thrift Store Coasters

I bought a stack of vintage glass and silver coasters which make great pin cushion because they are weighted. I also found these antique hat pins.
