I just happened upon the "button challenge" that Analise is hosting today. Since I have a love for vintage buttons I thought it would be fun to join in and show a few of my favorites.
Rhinestone buttons are probably the ones I love best. You can never have enough sparkle!
Glass buttons are a close second - cuz they sparkle too.
Mother of pearl, abalone or shell buttons are another favorite of mine - love the lustre.
Anything pink....
or jadeite green are some I always search for.
Gotta love all white too!
I guess it's fitting that I love to collect buttons. According to my mom, "pretty buttons" were the first words I spoke as a child.

Pretty, pretty buttons, Karoline. I especially love all the different patterns in the white ones. That photo has such great texture.
ReplyDeleteThose buttons are not just pretty - they're beautiful. I think it is interesting that even as a little child you loved pretty buttons.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Karoline. Thanks for your kind comments--I'm really trying to get the hang of all of this. I believe it is a Hardanger heart. For a number of years, I was a member of an embroidery guild and it was a gift from one of the members. I added the little mother of pearl initial pin and it normally hangs from the beak of a sewing bird. I "rescued" the one-winged bird from a flea market years ago. I have the bird clamped onto a desk cubby shelf and it's turned so you can't even tell the bird is missing a wing.
ReplyDeleteWell! I know who to come see if I ever need a button. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful buttons, I love them all! You must share where you find these beauties! After seeing everyones buttons, I want to start my own collection!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy oh my!!I didn't know you had so many buttons. And I cut the threads out of so many of them. They are truly beautiful all sorted like that. Again your creative talent takes over.
ReplyDeleteFabulous buttons! I love all the rhinestones and colors:>)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful...so much fun seeing everyone's button stash!
