Macro Mondays - Button(s)

My kids may have grown up and left home long ago, but I still have heaps of kiddie style buttons in my sewing box. I used to buy buttons that appealed to me, whether or not I had an actual use for them at the time, and so it is that many of these buttons have never adorned a garment. Today some of them get their moment in the sun.

Archie McPhee cat finger puppets and Dollar Tree buttons.

These Bachelor Buttons of purple also have a small visitor,

a skipper butterfly, sipping their sweet nectar... luv the

way the setting sun made them glow!!! Wishing everyone

a blessed weekend with hugs from Texas!!!

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.

Blue has been popular many times over the years. I believe navy blue may have been popular during WWII, especially if your beau was in the Navy.
