2011 Vintage Connections Creative No Harm Button Swap Debut

It has been difficult not to share our swap photos sooner, but I did not want to ruin the surprise by posting photos before swappers had time to receive their swap.

As you will see there is a wide range of creative ideas and I think each & everyone is amazing!

  3. These just took my breath away -- every single one! I just love the variety and the artistry, and how everyone chose the most beautiful old buttons to share with one another! I was so charmed by the little crow button on the pumpkin! And Becs' pillow -- swoon! And Terri's book -- swoon again! Thank you so much for doing this fun swap! I can't wait for the next one!
