Brooke and I made these Brown Sugar Button cookies last night. I found the recipe via friend 2 friend. www.flickr.com/photos/58996925@N00/3011195976/
Thanks Leslie! They turned out really good.
Here is the recipe. The only change I made was to add cinnamon to the powdered sugar for half the batch. We enjoyed the touch of cinnamon a bit better.

1 cup softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups white all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch

Spring is almost here! I took a break from crafty photography, and hunkered down for the winter with various projects. It also encouraged me to sift through my craft materials.
A few years ago, I was handed a grocery bag worth of buttons (I love it when crafters think of me when they declutter). Around the same time I went to a vintage fair and bought the chipmunk and bunny cards. I liked the buttons on them, but I was mostly drawn to the cute animals. These were probably old cards that the vender repurposed to make the buttons more distinctive? If so, it worked!
The buttons are mostly Domcord, Streamline, Tiffany and Lady Fashion.
I did a lot of thinking this winter about how to use up all these up. I have lots of ideas, but it will probably take me years.
I like to think he sounds like Doug the Dog from Up.
Buttons has been with us now for 6 months. He likes to steal socks. He likes greeting folks: he high fives and shakes hands, he can even Namaste with his paws or say the word "Hello." He also says , "Woo woo woo" instead of barking. He likes belly rubs and rawhides more than anything. He does not like watching the home shopping channels. He likes to play tag and climb things. He enjoys playing with cats, but he does not like female dogs. He is the most amazing and cuddly puppy. :-D
From the 1kr box, which is about 15 cents each.
I think I already had some of the blue to the left, not sure what to use them for but they were really nice. The rest of them are odd buttons that I just really liked, for decorations and such.

This set of buttons in the new color scheme is one of the possible prizes for giving the scheme a name. Enter here.

Julia Wertz has been slaving over a blazing hot button maker making many buttons sets of varying themes! Doesn't your poor shirt deserve a little something special?
I bought one of those ugly plastic nail/screw/nut/bolt organizers at the hardware store, then used plastic primer and stone texture paint to turn it into a really great, color-coordinated storage piece for all my buttons (sorted by color--Elena would be so proud) and other embellishments.
These are the current buttons that I'm using on my camera bag. If you need a small camera bag to lug around for daily use I would definitely recommend the Crumpler brand. I love them!!!
An elderly neighbor passed way and I cleaned out their house. I was able to take what I wanted and the woman had over 5,000 buttons! I took only a fraction of what she had. I love the wooden buttons and I hope to use them one day.
All kinds of styles. Most of them have a rough, unpolished look, like they've had the polish worn off of them, but maybe they don't polish buttons of oyster shell.
Jar of buttons and a quilt on a hitching post...at least that's what I'm calling it...it was supposed to be a clothesline! Ha!:)
Hope the quilt is alright Kathy....like I told Flossie...I was having a hard time thinking of something!
The seamripper (which I used a lot on these) was made by Amy(During Quiet Time) Friend's hubby! I love it!
Vintage buttons strung together and fastened with a handmade heavy wire clasp.
