Happy Holidays Sign

This sign is made from an old sewing machine table leaf. I spray painted on the letters and stenciled on the poinsettias, adding vintage buttons for the berries. Using the original hinges, I threaded some fabric through the holes for a hanger. So simple, but cute!

Tobacco Stick Buttons

My dad and I made these buttons today from an old tobacco stick. He cut and drilled, I sanded and polished. Like an assembly line. I love the wood grain and the rustic feel. Also, the history behind the half century old oak. They were used on my Granny and Poppie's tobacco farm, year after year, stacking the tobacco for dying in the barn loft. The sticks are hard and weathered from use, so each button is unique in shape, width and texture.

They are for sale in my Etsy shop. $.75 each. Measures 1" By 1" approximately.
