Button Tags and I NEED SOME SUNSHINE!

This weeks button tag (image from Creative Breathing). Milo wouldn't give up about the only light place in our house right now.


I thought I'd show you where I keep my tags, but it's very hard to take a picture of this dark little corner. That little teapot was a find a few weekends ago, no lid, but I loved the colors. My daughter crocheted the little scottie on top of the cupboard, she knows what I like. :) And I made that fabric covered board on the wall last winter, what do you call them?

Another spot where I keep a few pretties, I've discovered that thimbles are the perfect vacation souvenir, don't cost much, and don't take up much room.

It's summer, seems like I should be showing outdoor pictures, but it never stops raining anymore, blah! Even Nick (I don't think he's made an appearance here) the pony is tired of slugging through the mud of his drylot to get to the pasture. He would not come out for a picture. And the garden is one big weedy mudbog, no way I'm stepping out in there to pull weeds. We've had five inches of rain in the last few days, and it's raining more right now. It's summer, I NEED TO SEE THE SUN!

Edited: Bookwormbethie asked if I'd show a couple pics of my favorite thimbles, well sure! I love these cloisonne ones, they don't remind me of a special place I visited, but I think they're so pretty! And yes, that's Elvis on a thimble ;), my daughter brought me that one from a trip to Memphis.




And this tiny, tiny (it's not a token out of a Monopoly game!) one was my aunt's. I found it in some of my aunt's things after she died. She was the expert sewer in our family, and always answered my silly questions. The day we were going through her things, I found this penny the little thimble is sitting on in her driveway, dated the year I was born. Anybody read Ann Landers? All that pennies from heaven stuff? I'm way too practical a person to believe in all that, but there was no way I was going to throw that penny away. :)
