made in Cornwall…. by me!
At last, well maybe, at last I can do a proper post since our return, but in a way I wish I was still down there 🙁 But this is another busy week, the youngest has his fifth birthday this Wednesday, book group at mine this Friday, and a craft fair on Saturday!
So where do I start? At the beginning of course!
We went down last Saturday, and on the way down we stopped at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, and had a look round, drink and eat yummy cake in their lovely cafe.
I bought some lovely buttons made by Mary Goldberg , aren’t they lovely!
So I had taken my box of goodies, and produced these lovely corsages with some of them (I have to admit the buttons above were actually my purcahse on the way back!!!!)
A bit of a change from the last ones I have produced, but I like them, they ar very graphical and I suppose quite childish in shape, but I like them very much.
I will put some more stuff up later, I hope 🙂

Yes your onto something, these are gorgeous.
I used to live in Plymouth before moving home to Ireland. I spent most weekends in Cornwall (surfing!). I love that neck of the woods. I also used to make an annual pilgrimage to the Devon Guild to view the work ,,, and eat the cake!

Those buttons are great and what you’ve done with them is fab – I like the ‘magic roundabout’ quality of these corsages – very fun & funky – they’d look great on a denim jacket.

These are really gorgeous! I love the little bit of extra “oomph” the buttons give the flowers! How much will you sell these for? I may want to pick on up from you.

Fab buttons and you’ve found a great use for them – brilliant!

Those are so pretty and different from what I have seen everywhere else. Beautiful job.
