The Iris danced across
the ancient Grecian skies. Gliding with her
embossed satiny milken sides.

Her lithe and nimble limbs moved methodically...
From her cream white petals to her supple stem. The nectar that she carried was transposed into a hymn.

"I must use my moments wisely, for they shall soon pass away... And be lost to me forever... A mere memory of my yesterdays...

"Thus she sung
And thus she cried.
Her voice set to harp
And lyre. So true a call
So true a heart did Zeus himself see...

"Come now unto
Mt Olympus
Oh white Iris,
And our announcer be"...
She floated along
In such a curving grace...
Transposed she was
In time and space...

The blessed arched path
Which she did go,
Became the journey for
All our eternal rainbows.

Recently in an effort to relieve some stress and just to have a "Me" day, I found myself in one of my favorite small town antique shops. While wandering amongst all of the clutter I stumbled upon a box of vintage buttons. While I sifted through the box, one at a time I thoroughly studied each button, touching them, wondering where these little beauties came from. What era they were from, what was the fashion then, what type of clothing did they adorn, what was the lady like who once wore them? Was she classy, casual, funky, a fashionista, Diva, a business woman ahead of her time, a Grandma or maybe a combination of some or all of them in one way or another.

Nevertheless, I knew that they had played an important role in the fashion scene in their day and I knew that I had to have some of them. My creative mind started in motion...how could I use these little works of art in some of my jewelry designs? I wasn't sure at that moment what I would create with them, but I brought them home with me & placed them with my bead stash. I have now started to put them in some of my latest designs.

Here you will find a sample of what I am going to call the "Vintage Button Collection" A little work of art, once loved, then discarded, found again, loved again & fashionably worn again. I am on the hunt for more of these little treasures. I hope you enjoy what I have done with them & will check back to see more once my website is up & running.
