Organizing my button collection

I have quite a large collection of buttons.

I usually get them from charity shops,so they need a good sorting through

It's a job I enjoy but find it hard to make the time.

This week I made the effort and got a little carried away.

I gathered together some recycled jars in different sizes

Decorated them with tea dyed lace and embellished some with 

these little jewels (vintage earings with the backs removed)

I just glued them on

I covered some jars with a piece of vintage curtain lace,glued on

I really do enjoy organizing and this little project was very worth while

What are you organizing this week

I am joining some linky parties this week 

The links are on my side bar

Happy organizing

To Polish or not to Polish

I am loving my silver at the moment. 

I can never decide whether to polish it or just 

let it be itself and be tarnished.

I actually like it tarnished,but today I polished all my boots and shoes

(not with silver foam) :) with shoe polish

Anyway while I was in the polishing mood I decided to polish the silver.

I quite enjoyed the process on this cold, wet day.

I can now see my own reflection in it

I'm happy with the finished look

I like silver teamed with  crystal too,so I must sort that out next 

I love sorting out and cleaning when the weather is cold

I always think we should Winter clean instead of Spring,as Spring is

too nice to spend indoors. 

So off to find more to sort out. 

I am joining some linky parties this week for more inspiration

The links are on my side bar and on my other blog
