Everyday checking my blogs "stats" is addicting and rewarding. It is hard to imagine how bumble button has continued to grow. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that a blog would be a way to share all my stuff with the world. And world it really is!

I thought this fits the time of year. It has been a very cold year in the USA. Muffs, does anyone still use them?  

   Marie Antoinette's ladies in waiting, gossiping!  Love the soft muted colors.

Hi everyone!
          Thank you for your kind words and for continuing to visit Bumble Button.
    This is button delivery day at the Legacy!  All you button collectors who can come to the store  come on in. Thursday afternoons, when the store is open until 6pm, works bests for me. I am always staying up into the wee hours so making it between 10 and 4 just never seems to happen. The Thursday gals are so nice and fun to see. Because they are all donated I never know what I will find in my drawer in the backroom.
    Here are a few pictures for today. 

Hope this finds you all warm and cozy. A perfect time to make a girly tag or card.

Much love to you all, Louise

   Hi and welcome to visitors and my followers!

   Today was an actual a craft day for me. I am trying to make a bracelet out of baby shell buttons. Shell buttons that still have their luster are like pearls to me. The itty bitty baby ones are beyond cute. I have tried to polish older ones with baby oil. It works except for really old and scratch ones. In the future I'd like to decorate a purse and a throw pillow. When I visit other blogs it amazes me at how prolific some of you crafty creative ones are! Hope you are are finding time for creating lots of fun and beautiful things. 

Much love, Louise

       Hi everyone! As promised here are several pictures of old paintings.  All so romantic AND feminine. Just think of the work to make and maintain these beautiful dresses. One reason I have collected these picture was for reference. At one time I was making historical costumes for Felicity the American Girl or Pleasant Company doll. But now I just enjoy them.
 I just found two of the prettiest blogs!! One is carol anne boutique and feathers and flight . I feel quite shabby now!!!
