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.

I always remember this chair in my Grandpa's apartment. When he originally had it, it was upholstered in yellow vinyl. It became mine after he past away many years ago. The vinyl had seen better days but I still really liked the chair and wanted to recover it. The fabric had to be just right and it took a while to find the perfect design. This awesome art design was THE one, the only problem was the price. Luckily it wasn't a popular pattern and it eventually got marked down to a price that was affordable. It was easy to redo, a little sewing and a lot of tacks. Now it is more of a decorative chair but it always brings back happy childhood memories when I look at it.
