Haberdashery & textile addiction sated... For now...














Today I woke up thinking of buttons... The sun was shining, and it was Saturday, so decided to set off to our local Saturday street market in search of vintage goodies. Lo and behold, my favourite haberdasher was there, so I bought some beautiful vintage French buttons, ribbons, trims, fabric and much more. Button craving duly sated... For now! Also, some linens & silks, a marvelous antique painted-metal trunk lined with the most beautiful old wallpaper and a rather elegant, huge old gladstone-style vintage leather suitcase to put in the antiques Mall for the Spring make-over!

  1. Beautiful coloured buttons (I rummage through them like a child looking in a sweetie jar!) and ribbon. The paper in the trunk is so pretty, it is a shame to be hidden inside... wonderful open for display though. Have a good weekend, Abby x

  2. Button boxes are really evocative, I will never forget my Mother's wonderful box of buttony, buckely treasure, always brought out for our delectation on rainy days!

  3. Love love love. Especially the dark background floral.

  4. I agree, the dark floral is a French quilt, and although orginially bought to sell, it has stolen my heart, and is now on my bed! Lois xx
