Last week my love gave me a splendid cardigan
But he felt that the splendiferousness of the cardigan merited better buttons - he sliced up a piece of box wood.
Wow, I LOVE those! You can't buy buttons that great. I wish I had some woodworking talents. :) So post a photo of the cardigan WITH the buttons. It's all about me you know. Happy new year!
Ms Assassin - glad you like them, I tried to photograph the cardi but the colour came out all wrong
Moreidlethoughts - that just what he is - a sweetheart.
Dolce - yep
Savannah - I was sooo impressed
Louciao - "popping one's buttons with pride"! and he was as he gave them to me
MJ - I eat wood-eating insects
Boonie S - I want a crocodile gate for the bottom of my stairs now
Nursey - it is the sweetest present ever.
also very special because the box wood was picked up during a walk we did 10 years ago, when he picked up the fallen box branch he said - 'I shall make you something with this one day'
I too, got a cardigan - it looked like something for a 10 yr old so it got returned. hubby is smart enough to leave the tags on clothing and hand me the receipt....
