    1. Thankyou. I made a curtain and tieback recently. The tie back is hessian string and vintage buttons. Thanks for visiting me.

  3. Love your imaginative creations - who'd have thought a handful of wooden dolly pegs tied up with string could look so chic! ..... and what a great idea to use buttons strung together for curtain tie-backs - wonderful. Your side post of masses of buttons takes me back many years; my dear mother used to collect buttons in jam jars - ah, the memories! Thanks for the nostalgic trip and for visiting my blog.

    1. Thankyou for visiting Valerie and thanks for the compliments. I do like my simple pleasures and have always loved 'old stuff', even though my father did everything he could to discourage me over the years...it never worked.

  4. Hi Ellena, I love vignettes around the home and yours are so inspiring and creative. It just goes to show there is beauty in many treasures we see everyday if we just take the time to look. You are so talented with your camera.

    Thank you for the visits over the last month. Your kind words gave such comfort.
    Hugs, CMD
