I know everyone has posted their insights on CHA 2011 and I’m catching up with getting everything organized and getting out of the slump that “bronchittis” can do to you.
I’m finally back home and at work and have put all my photos together and I’m ready to share with you our GREAT booth that we – Blumenthal Lansing had this year.
The second day of the show our MTK we made headbands. Kim Ballor demonstrated and taught everyone who joined her MTK how to make a button rosette headbands which featured our newest button from The Collection by La Mode. Beautiful crystal, enamel, pearl, glass and beaded buttons. Lets talk “bling”. (unfortunately I don’t have any photos of our MTK that were done at the show – i was under the weather that day and fighting with bronchittis). I will however share with you several of our booth photos with projects.
Looking to add some bling to those boring shoes – why not add some “bling”. Or how about taking that simple black dress and adding some fabric flowers and and “bling”. It’s all about adding SPICE to your wardrobe. Hopefully this had given you some ideas for your next function!
We can’t forget our “young ins” (if that’s a word). We had a little bit of everything at the show. We had fun with this group: Boutique Appliques and Sweet Treats.
How cool are these projects! Don’t worry our website will be featuring all projects with instructions soon! Boutique Appliques has been updated to include NEW flowers, hearts, cupcakes, rock n’ roll collection just to name a few.

I honestly had fun working with this NEW group of Favorite Findings Buttons. SPARKLY projects to be found everywhere! Internal and external glitter buttons – let your imagination fly and with this group of buttons we did. Any little girl (who am I kidding – and adult) remembers the “ballerina” in us!

HAPPY CRAFTING!
We are a team of craft-obsessed, button loving people! You probably use buttons almost every day without giving it much thought – they keep our shirts closed and our pants up (hopefully!) - but buttons can be so much more! We created this blog to share all the fun, creative ways we’ve found to use buttons. Our product development team is always coming up with great new button shapes and colors, in addition to new products, so we will always have something new to share with you!
