Fall Tag Swap!

-
I participated in a Fall Tag Swap -- look at all the Autumn-y goodness I received the other day!
Some went with Halloween...
while others favored the Fall season in general!  (Above tag by Jane.)
But I really liked ALL of them and will have fun using them in my Fall decor!  (Above tag by Tami.)
Here's a look at the ones I made and sent off:
I guess it's not always easy for the swap hostess when you make different tags...
but I just really like the fun of the variety!
Some of mine had a fabric base, while others had a Fall-ish paper base; most of them I sewed together (this is a view of some of the backs of the tags.)
This one was my favorite:
(Guess what?  I kept it!)
Take a peek at Button Floozies if you'd like to see my Fall Button Tin Swap given/received!

I can't pick a favorite-like them all. I've wanted to learn to machine stitch on paper but have never found any directions for how to do it. Beautiful tags-yours and theirs- and celebrating fall is always nice.

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...
