Hello friends-thanks for stopping in today! I have some inspiration to share today. When my mother was here a week or so ago, we had lunch at a great little place called The Dove's Nest. There is a gift shop attached to where you eat and I found a couple of 'bags' of vintage inspiration.
A scoop of old buttons, not a one matching another in the whole lot of them. All the shapes and sizes, some still have the thread in them. Metal, leather, wood and so much more. Smooth, textured, shiny and dull. Each one as individual as each of us.
The second bag was full of vintage treasures. Sheet Music from 'Old Man River', a zipper in it original packaging, bits of lace, and beads from a couple of necklaces that had broken. I have a ton of vintage looking embellishments but true vintage add so much character and i love the added age they bring.
You never know where inspiration will hit. There are tons of treasures waiting to be discovered at vintage shops, in basements, drawers, and top shelf closet boxes. I would love to see what inspiration you all find.
Make it a great one-
Can't wait to see what you make with them!
