I'm participating in the Vintage Button Card swap over at Speckled Egg. I hadn't worked in the paper arts for a while (except for making Japanese paper earrings) and I had a really great time designing these. Thanks to Heather for hosting such a wonderful swap! Here are two of the cards complete with their buttons. I'll post the other two soon.
I also recently found out that Kaari Meng, of French General, is publishing a new book this fall ... and it's on jewelry!! I loved her first book and can't wait to order this new one. I already have it on my wish list at Amazon. I wish it was going to be out this summer, but I'll try to wait gracefully :)

Oh. My. Goodness. Your button cards are so beautiful! I love the images you chose and the buttons to go with. Thanks so much for visiting my blog...your jewelry is gorgeous ~ and I can see why everyone loved those little hair clips at the market, too, so very cute! Take care, Dawn
So clearly I don't blog enough. I would have jumped in on this swap in a heartbeat! I am a self-confessed button-a-holic! Beautiful beautiful cards!
Oh I love these - beautiful! Madame de Pompadour never looked so good!
Wow, these are so beautiful! Isn't this how buttons were sold once upon a time? hmmm, sounds like a good marketing idea.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Beautiful!

kathywas .... I couldn't find a blogaddress or email for you, so I'll write you a little note here:
I think the new French General jewelry book is going to be just DIVINE. My wish list on Amazon is overflowing with things I'd love to own if I had unlimited funds:) but this is one I definitely will be getting in the mail!
Your button cards are even more amazing in person! Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
I am soooooo excited for this new book too!!!!
