The living room needed something, so I made a wreath. It's an old grapevine wreath I picked up at a yard sale somewhere, with some Spanish Moss yanked out of the tree in the front yard. I had HossFly go buy me some starfish for it, but I was thinking they'd look totally different than the ones he found for me. Guess I'll use them for now, but keep my eyes open for some more starfish. I used some of the yellow dried flowers I bought at another yard sale, along with some white sea shells, to fill it out. While I was at it, I took some yellow/gold card stock and a few more shells and glued them inside some small wooden picture frames (another yard sale find....imagine that!) Wreath on one side of the door, shell pictures on the other. I really wanted sea shells and magnolias, so next week I'll probably be showing you a new wreath.

Starfish Wreath

New Button Bracelet Photos
I took another photo of the button bracelet this morning. It's not as easy to take close-up photos as I thought it'd be! Try not to focus on all the lint on the black velvet...you can sure see that,can't ya? And here's another white and pearly button bracelet. Can you see some of the sweet little buttons? I love that carved shell flower shaped one. This is the one with silver heart charms. I gave away some bracelets to three of my sisters, but I plan on making more as soon as I scrounge up another button collection.
