Decidedly Red



I think I have made a decision.



OK, not a life altering decision...
... but a decision, albeit a small one.



Since the overwhelming majority of you liked the look of the buttons...
...I will keep part of my collection in one of the old French canning jars.



To complement the button jar, I decided to put my French red and white tapes, along with some vintage red buttons and laces in the second jar.



...a few pretty ribbons and baker's twine...



I purchased several of the tapes from Tongue in Cheek Antiques...
...a few on Ebay...



...and the card wound with the red 55 tape came from French General...
...I received it as part of my party favor from Charlotte Lyons when I attended her Sweater Craft Sessions! ...that was a really fun day!




I think they look perfect now!
The red is so cheerful...



...and there is still room to add more bits and bobs and memories...
...I will have to look around...
...think I have an old game piece with a red 52 on it...

Do you see how easy it is to make me happy?

I wonder what Paula put in her two jars?

What do you think? Did I make a good decision?
