What a Hoot!

I made another ‘hoot’ owl because I saw a friend recently and, as I hadn’t seen her over Christmas, gave her the original one for a belated pressie. I used some fantastic buttons for his eyes and I got them locally in a really dated haberdashery shop. The sort of shop you haven’t seen for years anywhere else but in this (almost) forgotten corner of France, they still lurk. There were boxes and boxes of buttons stacked from floor to ceiling and I could have spent hours in there sifting through them all. Unfortunately, I noticed the other day that she has whitewashed the windows and moved out all the stock. I am hoping it’s only a refurbishment and not a closure – I must stop the car and read the notices in the window. If she does open again I’m going in for a massive button shopping spree.
Big Buttons!!

I like covering buttons – I find it therapeutic. Call me strange. I have been amusing myself today by covering some huge buttons with gorgeous fabric and then thinking of ways to use them.

Cheer up a Handbag!

New Shoes?

How Gorgeous is This Fabric?
