Just a quick post today, as I am busy busy getting the store ready for tomorrows sale.

"VINTAGE" Buttons

Ever need vintage buttons for a project,
but had nothing but new ones that were the right size?

Try this:

I just take some black or brownish paint and dob on them.
That alone takes the shiny look off.
Want av even more oldish look?

Go outside and scoop up a bit of very fine dirt.
Dab a bit more paint on the button,
and dob the dirt around.
Shake off any extra.

Wah la!!
"Vintage', at least looking, buttons. =0))

And here is a bit of Vintage for you.

This was a display in the window of an antique store we went into on vacation.

Isn't he too adorable??

Here is hi best side. Taken from outside through the window.

Thanks for coming by.

Blessings on your day.
