The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when
I am really not sure what this was, but now it is a love wall hanging. I got it at a thrift store for.99. There is a small hole at the top so it probably was something that was hung up, but for what purpose, I haven't a clue. 
I had a difficult time trying to decide what to do with this one, so it sat on the floor looking boring and sad for over a month. Finally, I painted it a burnt orange and added the black design and the circles. A word was necessary, but which one? Hope? My name? Love? That was it! I redid the lettering a few times until settling on this style. It fits with the black shapes and if you just glance at it quickly, the word doesn't jump out right away. I liked that aspect, so I went with it. L O V E!
