A Banner Day

-

I have had some cheer and whimsy added to my life as the winner of Michaele Sommerville's OWOH giveaway: these bright and cheerful banners!  And they all have my favorite color of green!  And buttons!


 I know that the banister is not the ideal place to showcase the banners, but I liked the way you could see all three at once on them.

I'll have to take them down right away so they won't become a casualty -- they are irresistible to humans and cats, you know.

Michaele is a mother, the wife of a deployed active duty soldier, a kindergarten teacher, and a blogger.  And as if that isn't enough: she's also a crafter!  Her fun blog is called, Kindergarten's 3 R's: Respect, Resources, and Rants.

Thank you so much, Michaele, for generosity and for making it a banner day!

One World, One Heart 2011

Hello, world!  Welcome to my blog!   My name is Laurie, and I call my blog "Indulge Your Shelf" because I often post about the pretty things that catch my eye at antique stores, thrift shops, estate sales, street fairs, flea markets and the like -- and end up on my shelf at home, or in my Etsy shop by the same name !  My maternal grandmother had a great love for pretty old things, and it was she who taught me to rummage for treasures in thrift shops, to collect what I love, to sew, and to embroider.  And, that's another thing I write about often on my blog: creating! I love to sew and re-purpose vintage and antique linens into pillows and sachets, plus, I do a little bit of crazy quilting (and sane quilting, too); and, lately I'm big into paper crafting with ephemera.  In fact, I probably do paper art more than sewing these days.  I also do some regular, special event scrap booking.   I love paper -- the older the better!  I collect many small...

True Victorian style: black glass buttons

This past Sunday afternoon I went to my local button club meeting -- and it was fun, hands on, and informative.  The topic this month was black glass buttons . Many of the black glass buttons you see in antique stores were made pre-1918; as a result of Queen Victoria's mourning attire, black was very in vogue.  Although you might hear black glass buttons referred to as "jet", jet is a different kind of coal glass, and is much rarer.  I'm told you can tell the difference between black glass and jet in that jet will float in water. After we went over the different classifications for black glass through the National Button Society , we had a chance to dig through some little tubs of buttons (called "poke boxes" by buttoners) to see if we could find examples of all the types we'd covered. Each poke box was full to the brim of just black glass buttons.  We were having a contest -- the one who found the most examples won a button prize. Here's a b...
