Excitement building..."OH...I'll take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Rambling now..."I am going to be a GRAMMY"

VINTAGE THINGY THURSDAY...Bottons...buttons...Great Aunt Bertha had the BUTTONS!!!!!!!!

Thanks to a little rain here in the MIDWEST...I can't go to a Gardening Job...so I am finally visiting my blogfriends....and posting for Vintage Thingy Thursday! So rain...rain...go away...but thank you for letting me visit Blogland today! Today I am sharing a couple of vintage things from Dear Great Aunt Bertha's Estate....true treasures...this one...just how I found it....a box of vintage sewing treasures in a Sonomor Safety Pin box! Tucked inside this lovely box were vintage "blue" buttons ( whew did Aunt Bertha have the buttons...lol...and I thought I was a Button Hoarder) Anyway.....vintage brand new packages of seam binding...remnants of blue and orange seam binding wrapped carefully and pinned on original cardboard....blue and white zippers...salvaged to be re-purposed! Aunt Bertha threw nothing away..... she had gone green before going green was even the "IN" thing to do!
I love this color co-ordinated treasure! Obvious to us that Aunt Bertha sorted everything by color....wait to you see some of the other treasures I have to share in my ETSY shop and on E-Bay!
These are a batch of Metal Buttons, that are listed right now on E-bay....I have no idea of their value or age...does anyone have any ideas? Are there any serious button collectors participating today? Can anyone tell me a good sight to research old buttons? Or a great book on Vintage Buttons to buy? I do know that Aunt Bertha always had a story to share about each salvaged button....lol...she had her own button museum!

Happy Vintage Thingy Thursday.....

Vintage Thingy Thursday....GLACE

Happy Vintage Thingy Thursday to all!
Today I thought I would share a few AVON Fragrance Glaces!
Remember these from AVON?
All the best dressed chicks were wearing them.

They opened up in the back to reveal your favorite scent....Sweet Honesty? Whom can remember the lovely scents of the 70's? These vintage glaces are only a few in the collection I have. They are marked on the back pin side with
AVON FRAGRANCE GLACE Copyright AVON PRODUCTS INC. 1974 (1975)
NEW YORK,N.Y. 10019
There was an adorable rollerskating bunny ,his legs would swing so it appeared as if he were skating. The fun yellow bunny with his pom-pom tail...and of course my favorite..this sweet little bright yellow chicky with a pink beak!
When I pulled these Vintage beauties out my daughter in her Tiffany necklace asked "Mom,you wouldn't wear them would you?" And of course I responded "Yep"! Well most of you girls can imagine the look she gave me! LOL!
I shall consider myself on the best dressed list this SPRING!
Oh....and just incase you are wondering what that lovely(?) smell is coming from my blog is...
Yep...they are full of "Sweet Honestly"..oh...my...sniff...sniff...perhaps the pins are in wonderful vintage collection! But ladies this little well dressed vintage girl adorned in her finest Easter pins needs to go hop in the shower. For some reason 34 year old cologne just does not smell the same!

Be sure to stop over at Coloradolady.blogspot.com and visit all the other participates,click on the lovely lady in the vintage apron to take you there!
Smell ya later!
