Good morning all...as you can see my nap was interrupted so I could pawticipate in this tale.
As you may recall, TOGM and Dad are older than dirt. I'm told way back in the olden days
Dad said a light bulb went off in his head...yep he was gonna make one for my mom.
A little known fact is my Dad is very artistic and cre8tive! He bought the wooden
purse and hardware at a craft shop. Then he hand drew and painted all the
buttie pillars!! The little brown 1/2 moon drawings around the top and bottom
were made by tracing pennies.
Here is a collage. All of the buttie pillars have little tiny sparkles too.
I would like to thank my gal pal Princess Leah for teaching all of Blogville this most adorable term
Buttie Pillars!!
PL this is for you and the lovely ladies in your life.
OMC, what a lovely purse! Your male human is so talented!
ReplyDeleteOh that is truly lovely. Princess Leah will be fainting with delight when she sees those Buttie Pillars. Madi, you have such a clever and creative Dad.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful purse! Your dad is most talented, Madi! Our gram decoupaged a couple of them years ago. She kept one and gave one to our mom, who has no clue where hers is hiding.
ReplyDeleteThat is so so terrific. Dad is really quite the artist making that wonderful purse. We are so impressed. Lucky Mom to get such a nice gift. You all have a great day.
ReplyDeleteButtie Pillars....that's a stage between caterpillars and butterflies? Here I am trying to get an education, and you didn't expand on the definition. I will have to travel to the Princess's blog to find out maybe perhaps!!
ReplyDeleteLove this purse. Heck, you could start the 'fad' all over again by using it...I bet it would catch on.

Madi your Dad is super clever and very artistic - this wooden purse is gorgeous and we just love the thought and art that went into making this for your Mom. Your Dad gets a BIG HUG.
ReplyDeleteLove, sammy
ohhhhhhhhhh, This purse really brought back some memories... OLDEN days indeed, My Pop could be really crafty at times too. Being from Mississippi, he made a wooden purse with Ole Miss coins on it and I forget what all. I so wish I had a picture. It was mine for a while, then one of his sisters admired it so much, he asked/took it back and gave it to her. I'm sure at the time my feelings were fairly hurt. But still a memory,,,, Gotta wonder where it ended up..
ReplyDeletethanx for the memories and Yes we do have a mutual friend!!

Madi, your Dad is very talented and also very sweet to make that for your Mom... it is beautiful!
