A Nifty Finish to My Necklace


I ran out of toggles! and I'm in a cheap mood, so what could I use? Buttons!! I found a great source for vintage buttons at a great price and I bought a few. Add a beaded loop and voila! a one-of-a-kind clasp for my necklaces. The button is vintage Czech slag glass. In natural light, it matches the vintage Lucite beads. I bought some really super buttons for other necklaces- enameled, with Swarovski rhinestones and cabochons, transfer patterns on porcelain (like on dishes), oh I could have spent a fortune there; fortunately I didn't ;^D.

Who's Got Buttons for EFA?

A site called Cute As a Button, that's who, er where I found these buttons, with trees on them. They have lots of buttons from all the major (and some minor) places. Knitters need buttons, so this is a good resource for them.
Sleeves are 3/4 done; that is 1 sleeve is all finished and the other is more than half-done. I'll be pinning the finished one in place to be certain that I like the sleeve length, since the sleeve cap is so shallow on this design. Stay tuned for pictures.
