The Cyclists' Touring Club, a British cycling club, was founded in 1878. By the 1890s it had thousands of enthusiastic members (over 60,000 in 1899), both men and women, and would include members not only in Great Britain and Europe but also on other continents. The Monthly Gazette of the 1890s was a wonderful publication, filled with correspondence, wonderful illustrations by artists such as Joseph Pennell, informative articles concerning the latest technological developments and theories, lists of hundreds of membership candidates, and even served as a touring guide with articles on various tours recently enjoyed by the members. Members' letters were published concerning countless cycle related subjects, so this also served as a precursor of todays internet news or discussion groups. And, today these publications are a real treasures for their wealth of period cycling product adverts alone. Arguably the greatest and most successful bicycling club ever formed.
I am not certain of the age of this button, but I would guess possibly 1970s.

Oops, I'm back - forgot that I was uploading my photos. Can you believe that I have FINALLY got the marzipan/almond paste (bought) on to my Christmas/dark fruit cake (bought) and roughly iced it. It's 8th January! Next year, perhaps I'd better get this done before any of the Bird Counts start, LOL. Trouble is, then I will have eaten the cake way before Christmas. What I really need to do is give up Christmas cake, period, LOL!!! Anyway, this pretty plant was growing at the Reader Rock Garden. I know the wild plant is called Spotted Knapweed, but the one in my photo is presumably a garden variety. Doug??? Later: thanks, Doug: "It is Centaurea montana, 'Mountain Bluet'."

Here's the interface for Penn State's One Button Studio, designed to make video recording easy. The process is indeed easy. Just insert your thumb drive, press the record button, and walk away with a semi-professional video of yourself against a plain background or green-screened image.

5. Next is the wire, I start at the tail end and either coil it or twist a small loop so that it has a finished end. You can leave the loop as is or use it to attach a charm or something similar.
6/7. Start adding the buttons with the first button at the tail end by threading the wire from back to front and then back down in the opposite hole. If the button is one with four holes, start the same and then just come back up in of the empty holes and back down the opposite again. It is just like sewing a button.
8. As you add more buttons, always start them from back to front. Each time I add a new button, I like to flatten the strand before taking the wire back through so that I can make sure I don't have any gaps.

Button decided Lisa's bag was a great alternative to clothes. Especially since hers aren't finished.
She sports an egg warmer hat, and handmade merino wool felt shoes.

Macro Monday (7.6.09): “What you wanna be when you grow up?”
Mom always said, "Work is only work if you'd rather be doing something else." Luckily, I'm living the dream--I was drawing when I was 4, and now I'm an Executive Creative Director in the digital world. Bigger canvases, same love of creative.

Our chinese painted button quail. They live in our greenshouse, eating ants and some seeds we give them. They are a little bit shy, but will eat from your hand as seen.
I love buttons. I would go so far as to say I have a bit of a button addiction. But I have a hard time growing my stash of buttons. I occationally steal my moms buttons for projects. She's got enough to share. I sometimes go on Etsy and look at all the buttons, and then chicken out on buying them. I think about looking at antique shops, and there is one locally that has a booth that carries them, but their expensive.
I want to be better about going to garage sales and finding them. I'm terrible about that. I'm not a garage-saler. And when I do go, I never find anything cool like antique sewing supplies, vintage sheets, buttons... I should start swaping my crafting for huge amounts of vintage buttons. This button currently resides on a jacket I got at Old Navy last year. Just this lone button on the top of the jacket...perfect for a pregnant belly. I still wear it. It's not a pregnancy jacket, just worked well as one. When i'm tired of the jacket, i'll steal the button from it!
