I was sorting through my buttons recently
and thought it might be a cool idea to have all of my pearl
buttons in the one box so I pulled out a very ordinary
purple faded box which I was gifted many years ago
and decided to alter it!

As you can see over the years it now has just the 
right amount of faded purple which I much prefer!

I pulled out a number of pieces of vintage lace, a beautiful
embroidered satin petticoat insert and a few favourite
contrasting buttons and this was the result!



The first thing I made was the heart shaped pocket
(with Valentine's Day in mind!)
basically from scrim which I manipulated to
cover the front

and added a pieced crushed velvet leaf to tone in with
the purple faded velvet which I covered with a
piece of crocheted doily and a pearl button.

Inside the pocket I popped a cabinet card.

These  images give you an idea of the embroidered satin piece

and the vintage buttons.

Now looking at the inside of the box with all the pearly

buttons you really can see just how purple the original

colour of the box was.

If you want to see some really beautiful blissful whites 
then pop over to Becky's at Timewashed. 
I know you will enjoy all that you see there!

Hope you weekend coming up is peaceful and relaxed
with what ever you might be doing!

Sending some love from still sunny days Downunder,
