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.
