Pearls and Lace Thursday #29 and a new GIVEAWAY!!

I'm Back!!

Had a bad cold with fever and coughing (still have that nagging thing!), but feelilng much better now.  I've even started my new Etsy Shop!!!

I know, I just posted about it, but today is the day I get to show you some close-ups of what I've been doing all summer!

To see these pillows in my Etsy store, please click here!

I've been crocheting roses.  LOTS of roses!

And I've been sewing! And playing.....LOTS of playing!!

My collections of LACES and DOILIES has grown and grown, and now I'm using them to make these!

The buttons range from Vintage to new, Rhinestones to plastic, Pearl and Shell, but all are gorgeous!

The Pearlized are my favorite.  And the Lace.  Of course...the lace!!

Therefore, for today's Pearls and Lace Thursday post, I wanted to share what other than pearls and lace!
