I darted away from my booth now and again but one had to really take time to get into the collections as there were boxes and boxes on very large cards to sort through besides boxes called "pokes" of individual odd buttons . I didn't find out about them until too late. I could have found some good paintable buttons I'm sure...
My buttons were a hit and some I sold right out of and will have to get busy again. These included cottages, owls, iris, bees, etc. Plus I took many orders for custom pet portraits on buttons. And again I was taken by surprise by requests for things I had never painted before like a sailing ship for example. And trees were really a hot item....specific trees in fact. I have requests for a cork tree, willow tree, olive tree and a box elder tree.
It really did my spirit good to get up and talk about how I use buttons in crazy quilting... But today I am tired and am going to treat myself to a very lazy day with a long nap.
