Just Take a Notion

Mademoiselle Bouton et Madame Ruban

What do you do with a free afternoon, 2 World Market dress forms and a ginormous stash of vintage buttons and beautiful ribbons? Voila! I created skirts for the ladies. One of tags, that I coloured in pastel acrylics and then wired on sets of buttons. And the other, loops of ribbon around a ribbon waistband. I've had the miniature hat for years and was thrilled to find a home for it.



Now instead of being hidden in boxes, these gorgeous notions get to be on display on the bookcase across from my bed where I can see them every day.

Who would have guessed I was a fashion designer?
