Things that make me smile

I went to a Crafts show today and bought some very fun jewelry made from vintage buttons. Look at the amazingly intricate buttons used to create this bracelet and earring set.

The artist who makes these wonderful pieces is Lori Kirsch. She puts together the most amazing combinations of vintage buttons, precious stones, glass beads and tiny plastic toys into the coolest funnest wearable art you could possibly imagine. The coolest thing of all? she packs your purchases in a Popcorn bag!!

If you're on the west side this weekend, check out the Contemporary Crafts Market. Lots of booths where some very creative artists sell their work.
