| I scream, We all scream for good buttons!!! |
Recently I ran across an amazing etsy seller, Chocolate Bayou Shop who sales vintage buttons in fairly large quantities. A part of me wanted to keep her site info all to myself, but I decided I shouldn't be greedy and to share the info. Her buttons are very nice quality. They arrived quickly and well packed. And what always gets me the most they had a hand written thank you note. Something I always treasured when Yahaira owned her online yarn shop that kept me coming back. Here is the group of buttons that I recently picked up from her recently. I have been desperately looking for good buttons for Cria. (I even am waiting on ones from Israel.) I may have gone a little overboard, but she is having a Christmas in July sale so I couldn't resist. |

kitty: a little knitting action going on.... Cria
 |
| Zeiss Ikon Nettar It has a viewfinder, folding bellow, self-erecting, produces 6*6cm exposures on 120 film. |
| It feels like I have been working on Cria forever, I started it the end of May and now I find myself mid July. I only have about 25 rows left on the left sleeve so the end is in site. Really no reason other than the work and the heat to be honest. The pattern is a lot of fun and I have to say I absolutely love this yarn. I would jump on the chance to buy it again. |
