The Pearly King and Queen




My Mom is Irish born and moved to London when she was a teen. I was born in a suburb of Boston. My Mom told us stories of Ireland and England when we were little. The Pearly King and Queen always fascinated me. I have always had the need for adornment. The suits and hats are decorated with pearl buttons. I had a picture in my own head before I ever saw the real thing. Here are some pics

I am going to save up all my buttons and at least make a jacket!
