And Relief Came on a Breeze...

It finally feels like Fall here on the Central Coast of California!! I am pretty positive our warm weather has not gone for good....OH but relief came on a nice cool breeze on Sunday afternoon! We had 10 days of triple digits...110 on Saturday!!! Yesterday & today...75...oh so lovely!!! I think the whole town was smiling yesterday!

Over the weekend...I did pull out some of my Fall junk...I could not help it!! I also found...stuck in the back of a drawer in my hoosier...a BIG bag of vintage buttons I have not seen in at east 2 years!! For some reason...I have an OBSESSION with vintage Buttons!!! I do not know what it is...I don't even sew! I think it is the thought that went into saving them...putting them in a jar...using them someplace else!! Our Grammies were the recycle & reuse queens...before it was popular!! So I have JARS of buttons...from Grandmas on both sides...then special ones I have found over the years. I decided to sell this BIG bag of buttons on Etsy...since I had not even thought about them for 2 years! You would have thought I had decided to sell a family heirloom! It took me all day on Sunday to make that decision...what a goof I am!!






Here are some pictures of my personal collection of vintage buttons.


My hoosier...decorated for Fall...now I just need to add some pumpkins!!


Have a BEAUTIFUL Fall day!!!
