Interesting trivia re buttons. I found this excerpt while doing some research on buttons after watching the movie ‘The curious case of Benjamin Button’ :-

 

“Even the simplest things had a glorious pointlessness to them. When buttons came in, about 1650, people couldn't get enough of them and arrayed them in decorative profusion on the backs and collars and sleeves of coats, where they didn't actually do anything. One relic of this is the short row of pointless buttons that are still placed on the underside of jacket sleeves near the cuff. These have been purely decorative and have never had a purpose, yet 350 years later on we continue to attach them as if they are the most earnest necessity.”

― Bill Bryson

When I was a kid, I loved sitting on the stairs in my grandparents' house and playing with a jar of buttons. My grandmother's button collection is now one of my treasures. This photograph shows a few pink, green and white vintage buttons from that collection.

Day 191/366 - Jar of buttons.

The theme for Macro Mondays this week is button(s). This is the ON-OFF buttons on a palm sander. HMM

Buttons arranged in patterns. Very OCD of me and totally time consuming.

I love buttons! I bought these at a big Craft Exhibition. In theory, I bought them as embellishments to use in my cardmaking, but the real reason is just because I like them!

The beginnings of a new button collection.

We're Here - Buttons Anonymous

Macro Mondays

I've a large collection of buttons and I've decided to keep only the prettiest ones... I've filled little bags with 150 grams of buttons in each and will try to sell them on a flea market....

I enjoyed stitching this on holiday - inspired by the faces flowers in a 'point de croix' magazine.

I have never done many Bullion Knots before so it was a learning curve!

I used various threads, ribbons, buttons, and textured wool on the border.

As promised, here's a stop-motion video that we did!

We were just having a little bit of fun but it would be so cool if magical things like this really happened :)

We were in a cafe, and I was entranced by the way the detail on her shirt was illuminated.

 

Slid this in PS for a dreamier look. Not that I don't always do that, but since it's Sunday, I'm adding it to Sliders Sunday. HSS!
