Ready for the holiday

The Windsor Holiday Shops was a great success for Buttercup. Over 100 people drifted in and out on Saturday most of which made a purchase! Thanks everybody for such a grand stand. I was wiped out of so many items. I am working feverishly to replenish the shop for this weekend.
Hot items were velvet, woven and swirl crocheted scarves. Jewelry- lots of necklaces and earrings. Cinnamon brooms of all sizes and potpourri.
So now that the Christmas season is upon us I'm posting a few pictures of what's for sale. Any inquiries can be made through my e-mail buttrcupboutique@aol.com
My batteries died during this shoot so many of the pictures turned out blurry- charging batteries- new pics tomorrow.

Okay so that's it for today. Hope I do better with my pictures. Shooting jewelry is really hard- the sparkle doesn't  come through. You need special lights, backdrops and a better photographer etc. I promise I'll do my best and as always... thanks to my followers, friends, customers and fellow bloggers who have helped  show me the way in this virtual world. And a special thanks to Susie for all her help with Girls night out and to Linda for her constant support  without them I would be lost in the land of cows and corn!
Till tomorrow then...

Wow- A whopping success! Thanks to all my friends who came to support Buttercup tonight. Everyone seemed to be having fun buying jewelry, scarves, hats and fighting over the last of the sweet nothing wraps. 2 men showed up and out they went after 30 seconds in the shop with all the ladies ooohing and aaahing , giggling and shopping. The driveway was packed with cars and there was standing room only inside. Check out the photos.

hey baby it's cold out there

This last week has been very chilly here in upstate New York so it got me thinking about these cozy little shrugs I made and thought it was time to show you all how to wear them. Cozy, warm and super soft.

the shrugs

open it up

swing it around

it's got little sleeves to make a sweater

the view from the back

okay now- take it off- fold it in half

wrap it around your shoulders- you've got a wrap

so pretty from the back

next- pull it up towards your neck

wrap one side over your shoulder

wrap the other side over your other shoulder- it's a yummy scarf!

it's the back again

another version- a little longer

add your favorite crystal pin

let it hang free to show its beautiful drape, wear it as a sweater, a wrap, a scarf- but girls- just wear it! 

               standard size shrug sells for $38.00 and long version is $48.00
             lots of delicious colors- camel, green, purple, red, blue and more.

A busy Labor Day weekend

I thought for sure everyone would be having too much fun with  their get togethers to come to Buttercup- I was wrong. It turned out to be the best weekend ever! Customers brought friends and family as "the something to do" when the food ran out.  Everybody had fun trying on jewelry, hats and scarves and making their Christmas requests. Style is beginning to emerge here in this sleepy little town. I love to see the smiling faces when a simple pair of earrings can brighten a persons day. I always feel so good when someone really likes something I make and is willing to pay money for it! It was very exciting to sell one of my wreaths it gives me an excuse to make another.
But- all work and no play makes the maniacal maker a dull girl so it was wonderful to see my brother and sister in law with our nephew (David, Paivi & Thomas). We took them to see  a newborn filly( Fancy Pants) at our friends horse farm and after they left we spent the rest of the day just relaxing on the porch in our new (old) $10 rocking chairs. We now have 15 rockers- I know a little crazy but who could resist $10 antique rockers. Hope your holiday was good - until next time.
p.s. The roof is finished and the big news is David and Paivi are expecting ( we're hoping for a little filly this time)
