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

I love this idea -- when I have some free time I'm going to copy it! Meanwhile, I'm pinning this post.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteoh you made those jars lovely ! I have lots of buttons too and just love to sort them. Usually I do it late while watching TV.
ReplyDeleteOh, they are so very lovely! What a gorgeous way to display your collection.
ReplyDeleteLove it!

Your buttons all organized looks so pretty! Mine are in the basement in a tin and jars! I have misplaced my recipe for the chive blossom vinegar but all I did was put chive blossoms in a jar and heat some vinegar (don't boil it) and pour over the chive blossoms and put in a dark place for a couple of weeks shaking it up now and then and then strain.

ReplyDeleteI have done that myself. I have jars of buttons all over the place. I use them as ornaments until I need them. I also have lavender in jars for sachets. I find that if I can see things I dont forget I have them

Collecting buttons is one of my favorite things now since I am down sizing all my collections and selling items out of my house.
ReplyDeleteI love to see lots of jars of white mother of pearl buttons together and the lace you added to your jars is charming
such a great idea! I sometimes don't feel very craft-y, but I think I could manage this. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeannette Ann! Looks like you have been enjoying getting organized! I keep plugging away at it myself. Love your button ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love your collection. I have an extensive button collection and I liked the way you dressed up the jars.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute jars! I have my grandmothers buttons but they're just in tins up in the closet.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanette! Ha! Well, I have lots of those marvelous jars and plenty of lace and vintage thingys - just not the time to pursue dressing them up. Nor the display space, I daresay! But, your post makes me want to pull out all the ingredients and mix up some beauty - sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteJoy!
