the sun has come out now…
…maybe not so glum, yeah I know over reacting as normal, I shouldn’t get myself hyped up in my head, be calm.
So instead share in the wonder of vintage mother of pearl buttons,
I love the uneveness of them, and thinking where they may have been, and seen, they also feel divine, it is like you are touching little jewels.
Out tonight for my last Playgroup committee meal, curry, yay! I’m no longer on any committees, and it feels good. I have no desire to join the one for school, I don’t have the same bond or love I had to Playgroup, and I think you have to have that, you have to believe in what you are doing, and that you are doing some good, and unfortunately I think some of the events they run, are not for raising money, they are just to amuse themselves….ooooo….controversial!
Better shut up now, and make that denim bag I can see in my head!!!

That was the exact reason I opted out of the school PTA. I don’t mind fundraising, its navel gazing and busy-work which achieves nothing that I can’t bear.
Send the sun up here will-ya?

I saw your totes on etsy yesterday & stumbled upon your blog today, what coincidence. The blog and bags are both so lovely (as of course are those vintage buttons).

I feel just like you did yesterday and haven’t even tried to sell anything yet! I really love your bags and do hope they sell.
I’ve developed commitment phobia about PTA at both my children’s schools. I go to all the events and the children empty every penny out of my, already meagre, purse but I just can’t seem to say ‘Hey, I’ll help with that’!! Since being made redundant I’m getting very precious with my time. It’s mine ….all mine….ha ha ha ha ha….(that was an evil cackle by the way)

You are singing to the choir!!! I am in deep this year (and I never realize it until it’s too late!)… hopefully I can sneak away somehow….
I’m excited for my new bag… I just love those trees!!!!

I love buttons, and could spend all day sorting them out into little piles. Mother of Pearl are gorgeous, I love the way they feel.
On a different note…it was my turn on sunday to take my daughter to chapel to sing with the choir…I forgot. I am a totally uselss mother where anything school is concerned. The PTA would kick me out for sure!!!!!
