WonderfuLLLLLLL!

I posted last week about the papier mache letters I'd given my friends in a sort of challenge. Well, we met today and handed them over to each other. Joan was delighted with hers, Vicki too and as for me... well, I was nearly struck dumb with pleasure. Mine is just wonderful. Vickie has incorporated lots of things that I love : there are pages and words from Winnie the Pooh, not only because I love collecting childrens books but also because it's all about BEES! There's a mini book made with handmade paper and incorporating postage stamps and lots of references to the garden and sowing seeds... and rabbits.....and birds with binoculars....and butterflies... and moths.....it is a true delight. Have a look at the photos and see.

Lovely words about bees...

Just when you think things can't get better, they do! Joan had a clear out of her button tin yesterday and asked me to drop them into a charity shop in Tenby on my way home but I owned up to my button fetish and she said I could keep them. Naturally I had to sort through them as soon as I got back. Here's a small selection of some of them. There are some lovely ones here : ceramic, mother of pearl and even a couple of art deco inspired ones. Trouble is I love these things so much that I can never bring myself to use them but an idea has germinated this afternoon and I have a plan....
