We held our Evening Star Button Club Christmas party at Lise's beautiful home. Lise's home is tucked away in a forest community overlooking a ravine.
Look through these windows, you are looking into the tree tops. Beautiful!

We shared a wonderful holiday potluck lunch, giggles, our exchange of handmade button-related gifts and friendship.
Lise's home was so warm and inviting for Christmas...
Jennifer (top center), Tara (1-R), Pam (2-L), Lori (2-R), Lee (3-L), Tami (3-R) and Lise (bottom center).
Did you notice the AWESOME black & white button fabric scarves we are wearing?
Tara made these wonderful scarves for us!
Tara also sewed each of us a button motif fabric carrying case that fits button-mounted mat boards with or without a frame
Here are our other handmade button-related gifts that we exchanged
Very fitting for us button collectors.
Lee decorated this Christmassy frame with of course BUTTONS!
Our group photo is being sized to fit these frames for a keepsake ornament.
Pam created a Friend ornament dazzled with a center rhinestone button.
Jennifer hammered old, slightly damaged buttons, joined them together and fired her own enameled head pin to create a button pendant. I love it, don't you?
I created a Christmas ornament using the image of the 1953 December
Just Buttons Christmas magazine cover.
Each year I look forward to our button exchange gifts.
I am always delighted by them!
Well you've toured Lise's beautiful Christmas home, seen our button exchange gifts, now it's time to get a peek at Lise's Button Room...
We are greeted with Christmas-themed buttons & pins as we top the stairs next to the Button Room
Glimpses into Lise's Button Room
Every nook and cranny, bookcase, shelf and wall offer buttons, buttons and more buttons!
Yes, this is an entire original card of amber glass Tingue buttons!
Worthy of drooling!!
Lise hopes one day to have a Button Museum... I'd say her Button Room has a great start towards it. Take a peek inside her Button Room closet... box after box of categorized buttons!
Too cute
Well it's been a long post, but I do hope you enjoyed it.
Take care, Tami
