label love


I heart sticky labels at the moment. How much greater is this little blanket, just cos of the little sticky label that was on it - "crocheted by a 90 year old lady"
And I nearly missed buying this ugly little box until I noticed the label - "full of buttons"


Full.

Of.

Buttons.

One of my greatest thrills in life is riffling through an old button box (I'm sure you blog ladies understand!)

What i like even more than the pretty buttons are the random little 'treasures' that inevitably seem to find their way into button boxes. I am quite sure I must have been a magpie in a former life...

  5. Your Lucy looks so cosy under that blankie!

    I have lovely little silver name brooches that were discovered in my great-aunts & grandma's button boxes, so button boxes can be a source of treasure!
