My daughter and I went to our first button show. Nothing like a quilt show but it was fun going through all the cards with so many amazing buttons to choose from. As you can see from my pile I found some very colorful buttons. Most of them are glass which I find fascinating.
There was an antique mall next door to the button show so we stopped in for a look see. It is so much nostalgic checking out all the booths. I found this feed sack table cloth. It doesn't really go with the decor of my kitchen but I just had to have it.
When my husband arrived home from work he had a pile of mail for me and it was not all bills.Yippee!! Danielle over at Want to"Bee" Quilting, was having a giveaway and I won! Go over and say hi to her sometime. She just started her blog this year and guess what? She is doing Aunt Millie's Garden too. She does some great applique work. Take a look through her blog. The bag came from America Samoa and Danielle made the pincushion from wool. There was more chocolate in the little bag, but you know how that goes. Love it all Danielle, Thank so much.
Also, in the mail was a get well card and an article about Bluebirds. These came from a guild friend, Cathy B., who follows my blog. Thanks Cathy, you are a sweetie.

More signature blocks came in the mail too. It is so much fun to see what is on each center. The top right block is of a house that the quilter has lived in for more than 40 years. I think that is so amazing. The longest I have ever lived in one house is 13 years and that is the one I am in now.
And to top it off, I won a one year magazine subscription from Quilt Hollow a while ago and the first magazine came. Thank you so much Mary. I am enjoying my new reading material.

Happiness is like jam--you can't spread even a little without getting some on yourself.

A button show, I have never heard of one, I would have loved to do and there is no way I would have passed up that tablecloth either! Looking forward to hearing about the doctor.

Love the glass buttons and the feedsack table cloth! You can post a fabulous Friday post any day of the week!
Carrie, it's wonderful that good things are filling your days while you rest your elbow. I so pray it is well again soon.
Those buttons are gorgeous! I have never seen glass buttons before!
I'm just so happy that you entered the world of blogging. And wow you are a lucky one.. congratulations on all the wonderful wins!! Now if only your elbow gets back in shape.
Ok. That table cloth. Goodness.. that is enough to make one feel faint. I would have to find a way to showcase that one!
Pretty pretty buttons Carrie
Wowie that is a lot for one day! So fun.
I'm just getting caught up on blogs after a crazy week. It looks like you had a fun weekend in spite of that elbow. I went to the button show last year but missed it this year. Maybe next time...
I hope your appointment went well today and your doc was able to give you some good news.
