Vintage & New...

I have been away at my parent's house this weekend and my Mum came across an old tin tea caddy of buttons which probably belonged to my Grandma & Great Aunt Kate and also a box of newer buttons. I then came home to packages of beautiful small monochrome flapper girl buttons (which will look great mounted on chrome or old black deco style buttons and made into rings, ear studs or hair slides) and some bright jumbo polka dot buttons. Just got to work out where to put them all........

Vintage Button Rings for Sale in Daisy & Lola's, Norwich

I took 20 of some of my cutest vintage button rings into Daisy & Lola's on Lower Goat Lane, Norwich today. I was really pleased with the selection of flapper button rings and some more 1960s sparkling jewel button rings. I think they are going to retail for £6 a piece - a bargain me thinks! Great as a stocking filler!!

Rummaging through so many buttons...........

This weekend I received a bundle of 4 wonderful little parcels crammed full of vintage buttons from my mother-in-law, Evelyn. She had been going through her button box and had found some given to her by her Granny. I feel honoured to have them.


I have created 4 lovely rings from a selection of the buttons - and with a couple of coats of varnish, they look super sparkly!
