refrigerator magnets :: bluemanatee.etsy.com shop update

These are not your mom's refrigerator magnets!
These are my handmade button magnets for the fridge...just perfect for giving the kitchen a pop of color! The buttons are large 2.5 inch in diameter. The smaller buttons on top are securely attached and all coordinate with the base color. The magnets are so strong that you can literally hold about 8 sheets of paper under them! Each of the magnets comes individually wrapped in a clear pillow box container with ribbon. They make the perfect little gifts!

I have entire section in my bluemanatee.etsy.com shop of refrigerator magnets, so feel free to check them out!

treasury feature::hope valley

I was lucky enough to be included recently in this lovely etsy treasury featuring Hope Valley Fabrics...
I have a few sewing button sets in the fabrics in my etsy button shop!

Have you seen hope valley?
It is absolutely gorgeous fabric by Denyse Schmidt...
a little about hope valley from Denyse's own website::
Inspired by the can-do community attitude and creative, homey economics of the depression era, Hope Valley is a quilting weight fabric collection by Denyse Schmidt. The warm and cozy hues take their cue from a vintage-tinged country landscape. Eight beautiful new prints in three warm and inviting color families evoke a feeling of possibility and down-home hospitality. View the collection here!

You can view the lovely treasury on etsy.
A big shout out to BlueElephantStitch.etsy.com for including my sewing buttons in the treasury!
