Button~Button, Whose Got......the diamond ring????

I am not exaggerating when I tell you I probably have 25,000 buttons.

I buys jars, bags, tins, and cards and cards of them......always have.

It has not been until this week I decided to start sorting and separating the older, nicer ones into separate containers.

You can imagine my surprise....and delight......when that old jar of buttons that I've had on the shelf for five plus years yielded something more than just buttons.

Inside I found this beautiful half carat diamond engagement ring.

Of course, it was dirty and tarnished and certainly not in this little box.....

Once it was cleaned, I was amazed at what I had found...

And what I had for who knows how long.

The moral to this story and my own personal

life lesson....

Pay Attention!

Thanks for stopping by today.

May your week bring you diamonds in the rough

OR

Really cool buttons :)

Wonder What the Heck This Means?

Occassionally my thought process just runs amuck,

And there is no rhyme or reason as to what attracts me.......

This is one of those times.

I have no earthly idea my sudden facination with wheels....yep, I said wheels.

I think it could have been when I found all these antique sewing bobbins in an old drawer I bought.

They just immediately struck me as wheels and

I knew I was gonna have to do something with them.
Then the same week I drive down my street on trash day and here is a whole box of wheels....Then I started really paying attention to all the wonderful old wheels in the Shoppe on wheelchairs, toys, and carts.

And, of course, all the wheels out back. The wagon wheel that would be great as a pot rack.

The cute little wheel on the plant cart.

Of course, the 100+ year old doll buggy wheel.

Some could say this is my brain just "spinning it wheels",

but I prefer to think of it as

"the wheels in motion".

I just have no idea where it is going right now.

Ever have times like that?
Must be the heat already getting to me :)

Thanks for stopping by today...

I always love it when you come.
