Effanbee Baby Button Nose from 2004. She is wearing a homemade dress I got for her at the Mountain Heritage Festival a few years ago. I bought her for my mom who was in a nursing home. Mom named her Jeanne after me. After Mom passed away in 2008, I brought this baby to my home to stay with me.
Went button hunting today ... in our city of 110,000 people I had a hard time finding any retailer who sell them! These are from Walmart's craft section.

I guess everyone Internet shops these days ... but I'll just keep on with my old fashioned button-hunt!
