Buttons, Buttons...

...the stash...

Finally! Spring has arrived in Wisconsin.
Yes, It's a long time coming in our neck of the woods but all the snow is gone and we hardly ever have frost warnings any longer at night. (well, we did last night but that was a fluke - ha!)

The arrival of spring can only mean one fabulous, fantastic, stupendous, butterflies-in-the-tummy thing... FLEA MARKETS! Woo Hoo! One of my favorites close to home is located in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. I get to do some serious button shopping there with "the button lady under the bleachers." She's been collecting her whole life and is now set to sell. I have a really great husband who "let's me" shop by taking the three kiddos and buying them popcorn and snowcones to keep them busy while I hunt and gather and spend too much on my obsession. It was opening weekend and the weather was beautiful to top things off. Perfection! I had a very blessed Sunday - how lucky I am.

Now, I cannot wait to start crafting... Keep your eyes out for new creations coming your way. And if you're ever in Southern Wisconsin on flea market Sunday, let me know. We can wrestle over buttons and share a brat and cheese curds (unfortunately I don't think they serve beer there!) Cheers!
