200 BUTTON GIVEAWAY!

To celebrate  200 posts I am giving away 200 buttons! To win them, all you need to do is post a comment letting me know how you would use the buttons or maybe share a button crafting link.  If you need ideas, I have some sweet ideas on Pinterest.

 I will be working on some buttony projects myself this week that I hope to share. Meanwhile, feast your eyes on these little beauties that could soon be yours! They are mostly vintage with a few newbies and a selection of large and small in all sorts of colours - not too many whites.



Don't forget to let me have a way to contact you if you are the lucky winner! entries will close Monday next week.

My Place and Yours - Where I sleep

This is the second My Place and Yours meme I have played along with (from Punky and Me). It's a funny thing to share really as I think it is a place where we are most vulnerable. It is  our refuge from the world. It is my hidey hole and escape from all the worries of the world.
Ok, although it doesn't look like it, I DID spend half a minute straightening things a little. You only get this one little corner as any more would be a whole day effort. haha
As a girl I always wanted to be a princess with a four poster bed. Always. One of my favourite fairy tales was the princess and the pea. Mine has no drapes, but I can still be Queen of the Castle or at least of the King-sized bed. With my vintage pillow slips and jumble sale pink Scottish mohair blanket. It doesn't match anything but it is just so light and fluffly and warm. I love it.

Between mine and DH pillows is a small cushion covered in a vintage bear pillow slip. That is the domain of m 4yo DD and my concession to her nearly nightly ritual of joining us in the bed somewhere between the hours of midnight and 3am.

And finally, hanging down from the top of the post is a wrap top I took off and flung onto the drawers. Yeah, my aim is that bad. lol It went flying over the corner and whenever I see it I think, I wonder how long I will leave it hanging there? Put it this way.. I have lost at least 3 dress sizes since then. I guess one day I will have to deal with it. In the meantime it amuses me.

Trunk or Treat

Tonighr our church put on a trunk or treat along with lots of fantastic fun activities inside. The kids had a blast and overloaded on candy and cupcakes. I was busy  at my activity table so didn't get heaps of pics. I ran the fishing table. The kids were impressed when I put the dry ice in and it roiled and bubbled with the mist rolling off the water table.
Here are a few pics:
