I have been thinking spring and flowers and sunshine lately and I wanted to make something that would reflect these lighter thoughts, something PRETTY. So, I decided to make some lovely little sets of barrettes adorned with vintage buttons.

I have to admit--all modesty chucked aside--I am really, really happy with how they turned out. There is just something about working with vintage buttons that makes me feel all happy and shiny inside.

And I managed to incorporate one of my brand new stamps from
Norajane--this sweet little button stamp.

And furthermore, on a whim, I picked up this paper punch at Target that rounds the corners of documents--it was total impulse purchase because it was on sale (of course, half of what I buy at Target is total impulse...they should make a pill to cure that)--and now I feel justified having bought it because I used it on the corners of the cards for the barrettes (and I LOVE the look--and am already wondering how else I can put it to use...recipe cards, calling cards, postcards...).

I have packaged the barrettes three to set--all will come pinned to their own little card that reads
Cute as a Button.

I think they would make a sweet little gift in an Easter basket--or just a nice little gift to give as a token inspired by the shift in seasons. I will be putting these up for sale in
my Etsy shop later today. Happy spring!

The hair clips are so lovely, especially the one that have leaves, and the packaging is delightful! It's just a shame little boys can't wear them....!
