NEW - I ♥ my Mil & I ♥ my Dil pins!

We had so much fun at our first craft show we’ll be doing another one at the Villa in McHenry on December 5. See below for the address and phone number for more information and directions. If you are in the Northwest Chicago area we’d love to meet you, show you our bracelets, our new hairwear, and we have a great deal for you! We have the cutest scarves, they are black and gold and come with our newest addition – your choice of an I love my mil or an I love my dil button. All for $10.00! Such a deal. A great present or a stocking stuffer. We’ve got a great selection and great deals. We’re offering our bracelets online at our Etsy shop at 1 for $16.00 or 2 for $30.00. Please check back as we’ll be adding new items nearly every day and you’ll soon see our hairwear on Etsy. As always we are happy to make custom orders for you.

As we take stock during the week of Thanksgiving we are grateful for the new friends we’ve made through milanddil and the time it has allowed us to be creative in a way that we’d not even dreamed of at this time last year. Each time I make a bracelet or a headband I open one of the many button drawers I have to look for the combination of buttons that set the tone I’m aiming for. As buttons sift through my fingers I’m mindful of the small contribution we are making in keeping things out of landfills and creating something that is lasting and lovely. I’m grateful for the words of encouragement we receive from our friends, and our customers, from people who see our items and marvel that something so seemingly ordinary as buttons can become something they never imagined. Thanks for sharing our vision and supporting us and passing the word along. Happy Thanksgiving!
