Button earrings I



Like said previously I make earrings. Primarily from buttons. Vintage buttons, bright coloured buttons, ceramic buttons, plastic, you name it.




.. little cute pink ones

..or bright red vintage earrings, perfect for wearing with red lipstick!


..or slightly more funky ones for nights out..



V&A button earrings

I make earrings and recently found these beautiful ones in the Victoria and Albert Museum here in London. Stunning! And now they're earrings..

Lord Byron

This is one of the most beautiful love poems I know:



S
HE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens o'er her face,
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek and o'er that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,—
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent.

Freeze



This is just the kind of winter that I love.... Even better with some snow!
