Collections...

I have plenty of them.

My favorites are craft related, though cookbooks, ticket stubs, and themed mixes from Heath are cherished and greatly appreciated.

You see, I have this little shelf in my craft room. It holds my most important collections.



I display items that inspire me to be creative. I started collecting vintage cameras years ago, and mom has helped me add to my collection. Old books, lots of fabric from my favorite place in Portland, colorful thread, postage stamps, and buttons, of course.

I'm pretty sure I was meant to live in another era. I love old things. Give a an Estate or yard sale and I'm one happy lady.





I've collected buttons for as long as I can remember. If I could keep only one collection, this would be the one for sure! I keep them in several mason jars, but I would love to display my favorites in some way.



So, now I need your help. Your input if you will.... got any ideas on how to make use of and display some of my treasured buttons?
A pillow, frame....

Help please! :)
Have a lovely weekend friend.

Spring is here...

or atleast the Northwest's idea of spring.
It's a bit more colder and rainy than I'm used to, but still beautiful and welcomed.



Cherry Trees. They might be my new favorite tree. These soft pink blooms are everywhere. This was an unexpected treat.



I've seen lots of rainbows from the barge. This one was the most vibrant I've seen; look for the pink and purple.





Farmer's Markets are finally open again. Which means we can eat plenty of these sugary strawberries again! yum.



Hope you are having a great week. We are really excited for next week! My mom, aunt Lynn, and Heather (my cousin) are coming to visit! Woohoo! Can't wait.
