Spring cleaning in my wardrobe

I’ve had a busy day today. It’s been raining so it was a great time to get into my wardrobe and sort out my necklaces.
Years ago I hammered nails into some wooden coathangers to hang my necklaces on but over the years I had bought so many my ‘invention’ started to pull apart.

See what I mean????
Mr FH found me a piece of weldmesh which I painted white and secured to the wall behind our bedroom door. It is not visible at all from the bedroom when the door is open. Just what I wanted.


Sorting them into colours!!

I  know they don’t look like it but they are all hung according to colour. (I know, I’m a bit funny about things like that!)

Now it is so easy to choose which necklace I need at just a glance.

Show and Tell

This week we have had the hottest weather you could imagine so I have been stuck inside for days. I have all the office work up to date (a job I hate but must do!!) and washing and ironing finished so yesterday I made myself a little button necklace (I showed you the vintage one I bought earlier.)
It was so easy - I just spread the buttons on an old towel on the floor and sat and treaded them onto black wool - very effective. 

Aren't these colours just fabulous together!!

A plan to wear them with this cute little cardi (if the weather ever gets cool enough!!) and my jeans.

(Sorry about this photo below -I found it quite hard to take the photo of my cardi.)

It really doesn't take much to keep me happy...

Vintage buttons

Today I want to show you a cute necklace my Mum gave me last week for my birthday. She bought it in the Barossa Valley on our trip in January. It is handmade from beautiful vintage buttons...

Aren't the colours just gorgeous - it is all stitched together with black wool. Some of the larger buttons have smaller ones stitched on top - I just love it!!

While I was away on the weekend I picked up this lovely bag of mixed buttons to try to make a necklace myself - I also happened to pick up a cute little cardi in this gorgeous green colour too!

I'll show you when I get it done - maybe I'll make some to give to friends for birthday presents!
