I think most of us have this sweet little FSL Flower. I have no idea how long I've had it, but was looking other day for something FSL that was small with a hole that might fit over a button. Some of you know, my mother who is 87 years young loves button covers and that keeps me busy. LOL These are what I gave her today when we had lunch together. She was so happy and that made me happy!!She has many of our own ChristieF's mini hearts I shared a while back...she has more now in other colors. And I've made her a bunch from Criswell from their freebies.

Anyway, I made one of these sweet little flowers...and the rest is history! The flowers are shown on button cards that I ordered several years ago on ebay from a dear lady who is from the Czech Republic. Some of her family are still there and every so often she goes for a visit and hits the button factories that are still there today. I love buttons!

Thank you so much Veronika for your generous heart and for this lovely FSL flower. Thanks to you, I got out-of-the-box! LOL It stitches beautifully!!

I bet your bookmarks are sweet, too. I have Shirlenes loop, but have yet to learn how to attach it to anything.

Thank you. Aren't our mom's so sweet at their ages. Mine reminds me of a young child sometimes playing dress up. I'm so thankful her mind is sharp even though her body doesn't go as fast as her mind.

Thank you. I also have some of my grandmothers buttons and my mom's...even some that came off my clothes when I was younger. I love it when Mama tells me stories about them.

These are just precious, and I know that your mother is very happy with them. And hey, I like those buttons too. I priced buttons the other day, and got quite a shock!

Thank you very much! I agree, buttons are very pricey these days. I really love the old vintage ones and the stories they might tell if they could talk.
