The recent news from Nicolet is that this Saturdays(2-26-11) Sewing Cafe class has been canceled :( I am still waiting to hear about Marches Friday sessions.
So I will admit to feeling blue about this, which led to my being drawn to .....
Blue Buttons.....
Now that I am selling some items on Etsy, I have been doing more shopping there and thought I would expose you to the wonderful world of artisans to be found.

Can you tell I am ready for spring ...even spring showers? Here is a little inspiration in blue, which makes me feel a lot less blue and has started me daydreaming about ..... red shoes if I were to tell the truth.
What is not to love about this gorgeous dress? Its a gingham...in teal and black....has rhinestone buckles....and could not be more flattering! Its a vintage 50's dress beautifully made, kept and photographed. LOVE IT.
To wear this dress in Wisconsin would require a wrap of some nature...closed possibly with a ceramic button? White fur perhaps? What are your thoughts.
Where would you like to use those buttons? A jacket, purse, pillow or....? Do tell.
Hiya, thought I'd wander over from Brittanys blog and say 'hello'. =)
ReplyDeleteI've got enough on my hands with my very slow going home renovation project (the source of most of my blues ha ha) but I wanted to say, I was born and raised, and still live in southern California, and I went to Disneyland most every birthday too! (One of your older posts).
Your photos cheered me up. I still have a photo of me around age 8, wearing a puple mini skirt and black go-go boots that were just coming into style. Real hip for 8 ha ha ha!
Those were fun times back then, weren't they? =D
Oh, P.S., I see you are now in WI. My Mom came from WI to CA! =D
ReplyDeleteNow she did a lot of sewing. She loved making her own rag dolls. I've posted some on my blog here and there, but that's what she loved to do!
@ atomic ranch - I wore go-go boots to my 8th birthday party!! Have you gone over to Kevin Kidney's site? He has some great vintage disney memorbilia.
ReplyDeleteI will have to come check out your moms rag dolls, those were some of the first projects my mother taught her 3 girls to sew.
So glad I could help you smile...that's special.
The guy who has the blog called "Gorillas Don't Blog", or something like that? Yes I have, if that's the case!
ReplyDeleteI've also posted photos of Disneyland right before it opened when my folks came out here. All Dad could do was take photos from the dirt parking lot, but I'm glad I still have them. =)
