I thought I'd find a lot more star buttons in the tin, but no, only these two pink ones. One of three done for Macro Mondays.

we're getting ready for a YS and i came across a small box that was labeled "small decorative buttons- brass" in my mom's distinctive printing. it reminded me that she often made little plaques/pictures with suede and these buttons, choosing a button that went with the intended gift recipient's interests.

The Big Hoot has brought businesses, artists, schools and the local community together to create a public art trail of stunning owl sculptures on display across Birmingham from 20 July until 27 September.
All the giant owls have been sponsored by companies and organisations and at the end of the trail, they will be auctioned to raise money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
A selection of old buttons that my mum keeps in a tin (some of which are over 80 years old), passed down from my Grandmother, I guess they're for those stitching emergencies!

A little bit about the history of buttons:
Buttons and button-like objects used as ornaments or seals rather than fasteners have been discovered in the Indus Valley Civilization during its Kot Yaman phase (c. 2800–2600 BCE)[1] as well as Bronze Age sites in China (c. 2000–1500 BCE), and Ancient Rome.
Buttons made from seashell were used in the Indus Valley Civilization for ornamental purposes by 2000 BCE.[2] Some buttons were carved into geometric shapes and had holes pierced into them so that they could be attached to clothing with thread.[2] Ian McNeil (1990) holds that: "The button, in fact, was originally used more as an ornament than as a fastening, the earliest known being found at Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley. It is made of a curved shell and about 5000 years old."[3]
Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century.[4] They soon became widespread with the rise of snug-fitting garments in 13th- and 14th-century Europe. (Wiki)

Chocolate buttons were eaten whilst taking this photograph!
This was another photo taken for the BoA photography group theme - One of these things is not like the other.
For all of you non UK residents, the chocolate is the classic 'Cadbury buttons' - a favourite for virtually every kid I know (me included).

This is a side view from my huge jar of buttons I inherited from my grandmother. Today my head and heart aren't on photography, not sure where they are but it was a chore to take this picture. The struggle with the project is you don't get a down uncreative day. If I get inspired, I might retake this but there is too much on my to do list to play around any more.
