So much so that my head is about ready to exploded with all the perfumes.

I am sure it is getting earlier and earlier each year.

You've got to love them though, there is nothing like a splash of colour to brighten your day!!!!

So go on

May the Force be with you








Having had a few days at home with my daughter unwell, I decided I need a bit of the force to see me through.

From Russia with Love


Every since I decided to have a white christmas in Moscow, Russia, I have been in love with
"the girls"
I have made cute little tags which can be attached to gifts, and I have even tied to a beautiful necklace or dress strap with luscious black satin ribbon.

Your can't go wrong with sending love from Russia or button up.

Heart full of lavender



Making these lavender scented hearts brings back the memories of my Nan, who always seemed to have a lavender bag tucked somewhere.

The aroma of these bags is just Divine.

They're made from french linen featuring wool oval with button detail, with gorgeous cotton fabric on the back.

The perfect little gift for someone special in your life.

Winter Ranges











We have been sewing our fantastic one of a kind clips ready for winter.

They have luscious felt backings and the most beautiful buttons in all colours.
Here's just a taste of things to come!!!!!





Button Up heads to the Fair






I had great delight in meeting folk for all over the globe at the recent Newtown Fair.

Thank goodness the weather held, I am sure I could have read the weather on the news, I was following it so closely.
'fantastic day '
Here is some pictures for those that missed the day.
