turkey work, dangly things and vintage buttons

Thank you for all the positive remarks about my stitched book in the post yesterday. I am completely smitten with it and it now lives in a little glass cabinet in the corner of my dining room where I can see it every day.

Now that one is finished I can concentrate on the little book with cloth pages I have been working on. One of the pages was given a little attention last night......an edge was embellished with tiny pom poms and beads before turkey work and vintage buttons were added to the surface. I think this little book will consist of five stitched pages, all lined with embroidered cloth along with an embroidered cover.

I'm off to London for a few days tomorrow morning. It's time to replenish my ribbon supplies and maybe invest in a few scraps of cloth and some gorgeous paper. I'll let you know how I get on when I come back.
