Off to Arizona today for the weekend!  Can't wait . . . . it will take about 3 1/2 hours driving.  We're going to Quartzite which is a quirky place that swells during the winter months.   People flee the snowy parts of the U.S and even Canada to enjoy the mild winter . . . the fun part about it  . . . . it's like a huge swap meet!!  People come in their RVs and set up shop . . .  selling anything and everything.  I'm on the hunt for vintage jewelry, and semi-precious gemstones. . . . though I don't have many in my shop  . . .  I'm a closet hoarder.   One of these days . . . or weeks, or months . . . they will eventually end up on Artfire but . . . as the old saying goes . . .  she who has the most toys wins. . . . .

Yikes!

I love vintage everything - lately I've been running into vintage buttons . . . . . I use them to make bracelets but never thought that I'd find so many  . . . in the course of a couple of months I have amassed (?) a ton!

Yikes!!!!  I am weeding through them and putting some up for sale . . . . but I'm having separation anxieties and . . . . . you know how that goes . . .

If my husband only knew . . . .   I think he does but he's pretty laid back . . .  so keep checking back, the buttons will eventually find their way into my little shop . . . .  at least my husband hopes so.
