New Items in our Serveware Collection

Most everyone that knows me first connects me to making jewelry and second to making buttons.  While I do make those the most, I also enjoy creating in a different dimension and with larger items and so also have, what I call, my "Serveware Collection".  I haven't been able to list any of these in our online store as of yet since they seem to sell before I get the chance.  Hopefully I will be able to have some listed in time for Christmas this year.

Art Deco Serveware

I collect an assortment of stainless steel serving items that would work really well with the clay such as cheese knives, pizza cutters and other utensils.  Here are a few new items I recently created and are now for sale at the Shuswap Artisan Market in Sorrento, BC, Canada.

Cheese Knives - Blue

Cheese Knives - Citrus

There are quite a few more designs at the market, however I just wanted to share a few samples for now.  These take quite a bit more work and time to create than the smaller jewelry items but the finished product in the end is very satisfying!

New Buttons & Bags for Fibre Expressions

Fibre Expressions is a quilt shop on the Sunshine Coast of BC in the town of Sechelt.  They sell a wide range of our handcrafted buttons but what is unique is how they create bag designs in which our buttons are incorporated.  They are put into kits which makes it more efficient when purchasing the correct amount of each fabric for the project.


They will be selling these kits, along with other goodies at the Quilt Canada show which happens to be coming up already next week in Vancouver.  Of course if you cannot make it to the show and looking to order some of their items, they can be purchased in their online store.

Here are a few samples of the bags they created and a close-up sample of the buttons used:


Gigantic Blooms


Leaves with Lady Bug


Celtic Heart



Brocade



Color Wheel


Exotica

And finally, I created these special Surfboards as an accent button for a beach bag design of theirs.

We also have our handcrafted buttons listed in our own online store here.  We have everything from real tiny that are suitable for children's wear or knit/crochet projects to very large as shown above.

Mini Blooms

Some of our buttons might not be listed in our store if we are out of stock so you can contact us (through our website) with your request or any questions.
