Ever wonder what to do with that box full of spare buttons? Make them into a necklace of course! There were lots of variations from one strand of buttons to more complex multi-strands of buttons… In order to get the buttons to lay flat, the artist used clear necklace string to weave in and out [...]
One vendor had adorable personalized gift bags with different witty quotes on each one, and a lacey doiley accent at the bottom of the bag. Some of the bags said: “Might Be A Good Time To Manage Expectations” “Only the Best Present EVER” “Do Not Open Until December 25th” “Who’s Your Santa?” “No Refunds or [...]

They had (I believe a Marta Stewart magazine) an article they were featured in, which I took a photo of… but [...]
Wren Handmade had a bunch of adorable hair pins at Martha Stewart’s Holiday Craft Sale. The hairpins are made by cutting various shapes out of strips of cotton and sewing them together to form flowers. These handmade fabric flowers are then sewn onto bobbypins. CUTE!
