Daisy's been making again

We had a delivery of ribbons in the shop recently.

They were so yummy that I needed to have a play.

I decided to make bunting to show the ribbon samples.
They needed to be quite firm to stop them from flopping
out of shape so I used wadding inside the bunting.
This seems to have worked really well.

But then my head started buzzing with more bunting ideas ...

This does say buttons but the lighting was too bright

and my photographing skills are sometimes a bit off!

Ahh proof! A close up of the 'tt' ...

and the 'but'!

Then I realised it would have been rude to leave the threads

out as they sit quietly between the ribbons 

and the buttons.

So I played.
 Stitching lots of different threads...

and I left them trailing...

just because.

Here it is completed.

Thanks for stopping by.

Love

Recent purchases - this and that

Morning all.

I seem to have a back log of photos to

share with you of recent treasure finds

so I've divided them into themes!

(Me thinks I may be purchasing too much stuff!)

Apologies for any misbehaviour from my photos

and text.  They are a law unto themselves today.

First up is this delicate pink ric rac and lace.

All for the bargin price of £2.00.

                                                        

Popper beads from my childhood...

and a bag of  little assorted  flowers.                                   

      A bag of antique blue buttons.

      These lovely old luggage labels.

    This is my favourite find. I spotted the ribbon first.

    

On closer inspection it turned out to be Victorian.

                                                                

      Faded but oh so beautiful.

   I have no idea what to do with it yet but it deserves to be somewhere special.

  I plan to make new bits of  jewellery with these.

 A pretty blue floral box.

   Finally for today a bag of bits including this name tape.

  I wonder who she was?

     And yet more buttons!

I hope you enjoyed rumaging through my finds.

Have a lovely day whatever you're up to.

Where are you going Daisy?

I was packing, honestly ... but then I found a jar of letters

and I started to play instead!

BACK TO WORK!

I seem quite unable to throw away a Country Living

magazine. Consequently I now have three large

boxes full of them that are so heavy I now need

a forklift truck to move them!

Boxes of rainbow colours ...

and a 'small' collection of ribbons have been packed away with ...

tins and jars of buttons ...

and vintage dolly dresses.

A treasure box to open again soon.

Oh and not forgetting my tutu!

Enjoy your weekend. Guess what I'll be doing? :)
