Vintage Buttons, Skeleton Keys & Lace


I just adore vintage buttons and skeleton keys
so I collect them everywhere I go ~



Last year I bought one of Dawn from The Feathered Nest's tutorials,
I love them all !
I wanted to play with some of the vintage buttons and skeleton keys so I made
little picture holders using old salt and pepper shakers ~




This is also some lace that was added to my website last night~
It is wrapped around a tea dyed stamped tag that is ohhhh so cute !



If you would like to purchase the little picture holders or lace cards
you can find them in our Vintage Finds Category ~

Love your little salt shakers and the lace looks great!!! I got very thing unloaded today except for the windows, tins and that can of wooden spindals. Now to rest for a few days then get ready for that yard sale at Cleburne the 6th of Nov. Maybe you, Charlene and I can all get together for lunch one day. I might even fix us a salad lunch and we can all just sit around and talk. We all need to get together more often!
Was nice to see Dana too, such a handsome husband, but then what can you expect with such a beautiful wife.
Love ya, Pat

Hi Lori! I love your post. I had to laugh though.....I have been "reorganizing" my sewing area and art studio which has included "going through" my collection of buttons, lace and skeleton keys (and many other collections as well! Thank you for sharing!
