Beautiful Images from 1800's Children's Books plus Buttons and Lace

Hi everyone and welcome friends, old and new.

It has been a busy day getting everything ready to bring to the store. It feels really good to open one of my little sorting drawers and find it empty. That means all of that type of button are carded. What a relief! We always get cuff links and collar studs in with the buttons and that little drawer was overflowing until today.

Get nice and clean.

Dress for a new day.

Open the door.

Daddy's home to play!\

And now for some buttons and lace.

How cute is this! A black glass hatbox button.

 A few of the Channel buttons someone donated.

 We had a wonderful donation of rhinestone buttons.It was so fun going thru all the bling! 

Late Victorian Antique Photographs of Little Girls Lots of Lace plus Dolls

Welcome to each and everyone of you, I have something special today! These antique cabinet photographs are softly tinted or painted. My guess is they are from the late Victorian to early Edwardian time periods. Do any of you know what kind of dolls they are holding? The photographs leave me wanting to know more about their lives and personalities. What is the story about the lockets? A Christmas or birthday gift and from whom? The girl on the left has a gold ring and a hard to see collar pin as well.  Based on the jewelry, lacy clothing and the dolls they must be from a prosperous family. 

All of the photographs are free for you to enjoy and use.They are from http://tuckdb.org/

Today is beautiful and full of sunshine.  Another fabulous fall day to create something.

Much love as always, Louise
