My second sample for today's Crafty Secrets challenge - "Buttons & Bows" over on the CS forum. While rummaging around in my 40 year old sewing box, I came across this old lace still packaged - I paid $.80 for it long ago! I also found these buttons on a card marked $.25. Evidently I WAS going to make something but never got around to it!!!
Please come play along ... we have great fun and would love to have you join us!! Here is a link: Forums at Splitcoaststampers

Love this one also. Don't you love finding vintage tidbits. I have my mother's button box as well as my own and I love just looking through it. Great card. Dru

YOU couldn't possibly have a sewing box that's 40 years old ;-) Great card!

Isn't it great when you can use all that hoarded junk that you thought you should hold onto. I know it makes my DH HAPPY!
Yeah old buttons and lace..you look great here!
I love the sentiment on an angle and the zig zag stitching underneath.
Another beautiful card Darlene!
