Yesterday at my home.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to have Cheryl, Meg and Elizabeth over. We
started with a visit to my Mom's button room. (My parent live across the
street). My mother is an avid and knowledgeable button collector. She
is president of 2 local button clubs and pass president of the New
England Regional Button Association. She give lectures and has been
hired by museums to catalog and mount their collections. She has an
impressive display and bins cataloged be criteria. She is currently the
judging chairman for regionals. We had a lot of fun going through her
poke boxes and I am lusting at a button bracelet she made of waistcoat
buttons.

After trooping back across the street (and being locked out of the house
by DH) we ordered Chinese for lunch, and did a little stitching. I got
to show off WIPS and various finished pieces. We had tea and cookies and
had a really interesting afternoon. Meg brought me a ladybug garden
spinner, and Elizabeth brought us each a skein of Silk and Ivory. Cheryl
brought each of us a mug and "sipping chocolate". I exchanged loafs of
Tannenbaum Brot.

I am really blessed to have great friends and so many of them through
this group. Bobbie V.

I met Cheryl and Brat when I was in Maine summer before last, would
love to have been there yesterday. Did you say enough in front of
your mama that the bracelet will turn up in your possession next
week??

I already own a color-clear glass bracelet and a black glass one. I also
have 2 mounted trays of buttons. One in clear colored glass and the
other is ladybugs in a variety of materials and techniques. (One of them
is very rare and Mom remarked "I can't believe I'm giving you that one.")

I can't be greedy I have 8 younger sisters and brothers. This Christmas
mom has made up trays for all the grandchildren. Last year great
grandbaby Kaito got a mounted Beatrice Potter collection.
