And the winners are............

My what fun to have all the comments....I had a great time reading them and am still trying to visit the blogs. Thank you EVERYONE who entered and praised the pincushions and buttons...

If I were to pick winners on the novelty of their posts it would have been Cathy L. for "if I win and it's a pincushion, I promise to wash my hands before touching and never to stick a dirty pin into it and I promise to be a kind person...but only to other kind persons." and Susan Elliot for "O Joy! O Gerry's Buttons!Would thoust be mine?Can I imagine such abundance to be so near those that I love?O Buttons, my buttons!O Joy!"

But alas for Cathy and Susan I used the Random Generator and so the winners are:

PINCUSHION... Darlene in Owosso, MI. I have no e-mail address for her so I will hope she checks the blog... If I don't hear by Saturday I will draw another name...

BLUEBIRD BUTTONS....

Paula who lives in NZ... I do have an e-mail address for her and as soon as I have a mailing address I will post the little buttons in the mail... We have been to NZ twice and it is our favorite country and the people were marvelous hosts...

Again thanks to all who entered... Last night I did upload some of my victorian pincushions to my Etsy site. And I am just finishing a batch of hand-painted birds on buttons which will include bluebirds, hummingbirds, goldfinches and cardinals... and maybe a bunny or two.. I should have them posted by this weekend... http://www.etsy.com/shop/olderrose
