Wow, I just stocked 6 of these buttons on my Etsy site...and as of today...they are all gone!I hope the next time I order buttons...there are some of this style back in stock...so I can get more for ya'll!That was a fast emptying of my shelf!!...but, they are gorgeous...so really...it should not come as a surprise. Just sorry that I didn't list only five...and keep one for myself! 
Gorgeous buttons arrived yesterday...and I loaded them on my Etsy Shop this morning. Check these new arrivals out! I have been waiting and waiting to get some of the small cobalt buttons...but they are always out of stock. But, not now...so I have ten to share!
These are the new designs..and the glass is so carved it is just stupendous...love the aurora borealis colors!
And, check out these gorgeous flowers. Each petal is etched in the glass and a tinsy tiny little gold stem and trim accent the delicate looking flower. I got them in white/pink, peridot green, and aurora borealis colors...Just gorgeous......but aren't ALL handmade glass buttons that way...gorgeous! I could just sit and stare at them all day long! Beautiful!If have never treated yourself to a Czech Glass Button..really, you should...every woman should own a button this pretty.And, they also make beautiful brooches if you turn them into a cabochon (cut the shank off) and bead the edge.
Don't know how to convert a button, edge with beads, and create a brooch? Well, I have a class being offered over at Maureen's Vintage Acquisitions...and you can learn. She has all the supplies even...in a handy little kit. So, no need to hunt all over town for cabochons and it also includes one of my Czech Glass Buttons too!
I was delighted, when Dawn of NorthernAdornments kindly sent me a photo of a pendant she had created using one of the Czech Buttons that she had purchased from my Etsy Shop. It was stunning wrapped in wire...so, I asked if she would mind my sharing her work here on the blog. She said Yes!...and sent me an additional photo of a second button creation too!
How nice is that...thanks so much Dawn! Your work is beautiful....and sure to be inspiring to others as well!
Got more buttons loaded on the Etsy Shop. Aren't these gorgeous!
Thanks for the great support to the new Calendar!These past few days have seemed long...I've been working to get cabochons beaded and loaded on Etsy, calendar completed/edited/published, 2nd book proof reviewed, and so many more "business" things.I just wanted to take a minute and say a big THANK YOU to all of my followers for your great comments...they make me keep creating new things when I'm too tired to even look at a needle! And thanks to all of my loyal customers at ShawklDesigns...and now ShawklDesigns on Etsy...for your continued support over the past couple of years...it has been invaluable to me!
Worked on this earrings this morning. Will load to Etsy later on today. These little Christmas Trees are all Crystal AB beads...stacked. The earring wire is sterling silver...so no problem with anyone having allergies! Aren't they just too cute! Perfect for the holidays...and enough bling to be seen across the room...ready to make a statement at the Christmas Party?
