Something special is coming to the shop. And it includes a little pink ribbon that reminds us of this. In trying to create this special something, I turned to the talent of TessaAnn on Etsy. She makes THE MOST BEAUTIFUL handmade buttons ever. These pretties arrived in the mail a few days ago and was I ever excited!
The red motorcycle buttons is a little extra something that I am making for myself. In nod to my husbands second wife - his precious red Ducati 848. Can't wait to show you how that will turn out.
But along with these exciting things to come, comes something else exciting for my readers - TessaAnn is doing a giveaway!
As I mentioned before, TessaAnn makes these beautiful, handmade, one of a kind buttons. Each button is handmade from scratch, baked and glazed with a glossy finish.
Wonderful WorldDo you love it? Do you want to win these? Aren't these pretty buttons perfect for spring?

I'd like to see a set that included some bow shaped buttons...like maybe a "Pretty in Pink" set. Another idea...maybe crown shaped buttons with some rhinestone bling for a "Princess" themed set. Thanks for the giveaway!

Ah crap, I only can pick one? There are way to many that I like! I have a thing for polka dots so I love the JUMBO Black and White Polka Dots . ambrerose(!at)aol.com

I think I fell in love with that shop! I didn't know you could make buttons...duh! THey are all adorable. My first buy would be the shabby chic...great variety.
ReplyDeleteMy only suggestion would be to make some really LARGE buttons for decrative purposes on purses...like 2 inches or larger....I like to make purses and I have a hard time finding really large, bold buttons for a closure. Some thing that grabs your attention as a focal point.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shop! Very difficult to chose just one fave...but I think the Organic set (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42161561) tops my list :)
ReplyDeleteI follow this blog too :)

ReplyDeleteRobot buttons or tools could be fun...my son would love some on his jacket :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what amazing handmade buttons! I like the Marbled ones in Tan/Red/Yellow/Green. Such an interesting color combination and every piece is interesting in its own right.

You're right picking just one set of buttons was really hard. I'd have to go with Butterfly Garden. But just in case your curious I really liked A Blustery Day too.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Sunday. Hugs...Tracy :)
Hi Sherryl. I posted your cute little button. You can go here to see it: http://cottonpickincute.blogspot.com
