hope you all had a wonderful weekend. As you can see I had fun at the fleamarket and was a lucky girl.I've been looking for Mother of pearl buttons for a while - but that's not all, wait till you see this! Still in working condition - and I found this wonderful book as well. So in my next post I'll share some of the birds
with you. Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment.
Have a great day.Hugs,
Marie

Oh Marie...those buttons make me shiver...soooo beautiful!! I know you will create something gorgeous!
You are such a lucky duck to have found that typewriter! I want one too! Bet you'll use it alot in your beautiful creations!
What a wonderful find! Can you even get ribbon these days? I learned to type on one of those! Very cool find!
I have that same typewriter in my studio and love it. I especially love to see vintage items that survived the years and still work !
Hugs, Amy
I have looked everywhere for a typewriter like that. You are one lucky girl. And those buttons....dreamy.

I'd love to come Flea Market shopping with you!!! The buttons are divine and the typewriter - oh I could use one of those lol Lynne M x
You find an old typrewriter?? You lucky lucky girl, I haven't seen one around for many years. Sigh. It would be quite wonderful to have one. Oh, and those buttons, a girl can never have enough MOP buttons, they are gorgeous.
What wonderful treasure, you lucky girl you! Thank you for your kind comments on my blog (about my Dad), it was so sweet of you. xx
Oooh what a great find. A girl can never have too many vintage buttons! My mom's darling neighbor of 91-years-old just gave me a giant tin box of old mother of pearl and some others. She couldn't believe how excited I was over "old buttons!"
Cheers,
Holly
I just love all of your treasures Marie!!!! I would have bought the exact same things!! Buttons are like little jewels and the typewriter is wonderful ~ wishing you a great week sweet friend! hugs and love, Dawn
Hi Marie, You must have been over the moon with all the treasures you found at the flea market this time. The typewriter looks exactly like the one that hubby had found for me a couple of weeks ago :-). Mother of pearl buttons are just beautiful and I can never pass them up. Great finds!
Hugs to you,
Julia
Marie - love the gorgeous buttons and that typewriter. I have one that my Dad owned as a child...one of my prized possessions. Hubby took me out to our Antique outlet mall yesterday (to stay cool in the air conditioning)...I was on a mission for things to use in my art...but saw so many lovelies!
have a great day! :)
I did not get out last weekend, but looks like you were successful.
OOh love those buttons! I always buy them when I see them too! Yes that's helps alot on the book! I really didn't know what it was,just loved the handwriting on it! Thank you so much have a great day!
Nice finds!
What a wonderful typewriter - there's just something special about typing on a vintage one! Just think of all the little phrases you can add to your gluebook collages!
Hi Marie, We are also crazy about vitnage buttons and mother of pearl buttons, please go and have a look at the bracelets we made from these vitage buttons.
