Button, button who's got the button

I realised this morning that I had run out of my favourite wooden heart buttons so I am going to have to take a trip to Truro tomorrow.  But this gave me the idea for a folksy friday theme, and what a lot of gorgeous buttons there are out there.  Here is just a selection of the loveliness of buttonsClick on the image to be taken to the shop

folksy friday dance

Today I've listed a ballet dancer pouch so I thought dance would be a nice theme

here are my dance beauties

I couldn't resist this flora dance painting by artbymimi as we go to the flora dance most years and love it

this lovely wooden ballet dancer brooch is by gossamer wings

this delicate dancer bookmark and lavender heart are by sykesssillysite

I'm not sure which I love more the cute baby or the electric blue tutu from eccentric ella

I have always loved wrap around cardigans, every dancer needs at least one pink one with satin ribbons, this lovely is from Buzybee

This beautifully appliqued pink towel is by sweet pea embroideries
