Last weekend
Addison Endpapers was having a studio sale and this is where I found these antique buttons and pen nibs. I went with the intention of just looking (ha) but ended up buying a few things, mainly buttons. I am starting to use the buttons for textile goodies I am making for the shop. And the nibs - ah, perhaps it's time to start exercising me ol' calligraphy hand again!
If you want to see more amazing treasures, check out the Addison Endpapers blog
here. Believe me, you will swoon if you are into this sort of thing.
