This weeks 'Macro Mondays effort, on the theme of 'buttons and bows.Another struggle until I happened upon these tiny pin buttons in amongst some christmas tat in the local supermarket. HMM y'all!
The 12/4/17 topic for #MacroMondays is #ButtonsAndBows. This button is located just forward of the trigger guard on my shotgun and serves as the safety switch. The gun has been stored unused in a case for quite a few years, and it felt good to throw it to my shoulder after all those years. Glad MM gave me an excuse to uncase it.
Wasn't sure if I had any bows, but then remembered I still had the box with one on from Christmas last year as I liked the box and bow.
Always a button around, that needs sewing back on to whatever it came off!!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Pressing this button operates the mechanism to uncouple a selected model railroad train car. From my childhood, it is over 60 years old. Size: 1 5/8 by 2 5/8 inches.
I think I might have severe button envy this week...I couldn't find any interesting ones in our house at all!
Macro of a foil self-stick bow. I'm not sure what the material is called, but it has colorful dots all throughout the foil.
Hidden in the bottom of the button box, a card of tiny mother of pearl buttons. With remnants of the copper foil backing used to enhance the display of these 1900 era French buttons, and hand written on the back of the card: "4f pièce".
For Macro Monday's

I love to create beautiful bows from decorative ribbon this time of year. HMM, everyone ! !
Just a single Metal Button from the Hard Rock Cafe. I have this Denim Jacket for about 28 years and, as you can see it has been well used. This jacket has been my regular concert attire and has seen the Eagles, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Roger Waters, Don Henley, Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, U2, Bob Dylan and even Madonna! If Jackets could talk, or sing......
I just knew that I would need it some day, just didn't know when or for what!
The button is 11mm diameter and the material around it is the Denim buttonhole with yellow edge stitching on the left!
Would like to Thank everyone for stopping by and commenting and also to all the Favs. It is always appreciated very much.

A tiny red bow holds the last door in our advent calendar closed tightly until Christmas.

One of my fellow instructors has a Bose ANR headset. Couldn't resist the temptation to get a bit of a twist on the subject Buttons and bows ;o)
From ear to ear she is less than 11/2", and as she's wearing a glam ribbon I thought I would show her off for macro Monday!
This weeks Macro Monday theme - Buttons and Bows.
Thanks for looking, your kind acknowledgements and likes. It is greatly appreciated. This is only my 2nd attempt at macro, so I am truly humbled by the response.
...er...I guess it looks more like a lion.
Anyway, I was rummaging through a jar of buttons that my wife keeps around, and I found this really cool one. So I did the natural thing; I stuck it to the end of my nose. :-)
This lets me cover three challenges with one shot today. For Our Daily Challenge: “The Eyes Have It,” and “That Face,” and for Macro Mondays: “Buttons And Bows” theme.
HMM
Side buttons were at one point an innovation for the Apple mouse that let the user access selected features of the operating system. Here the graceful curve of one of the side buttons beckons for one more squeeze.
It was inevitable - I got behind on ADAD. Playing catch up as quickly as I can!

Thanks a lot to all my flickr member friends for visiting, All faves and comments are much appreciated!
All the details make this a quite noisy image. However this was more for-fun image, than a fine-art photo.
Once upon a time there was a little girl who was getting on her Mummy's last nerve. Her Mummy, as all good Mummies do, gave her a pair of pliers and some wire to play with. She made very pretty button flowers. As is apparent by the above photo - no one told Mummy she would then forever have to dust them. Craft has never led to a happy Mummy. The End.
Why would a button be bittersweet? Well, because my 16-year old daughter, Anna, can't work buttons. Sometimes the things I take for granted hit me in the gut. I'm pretty far down this path of mothering a child with special needs, but there are still milestones that sting. It can be something simple like knowing other girls her age are wearing makeup (Anna has no interest) or dating (Anna desperately wants a boyfriend) to the bigger things like getting a driver's license (that won't ever happen) or going to junior prom (Anna should be in 11th grade this year but we had her repeat kindergarten). I remind myself of the progress she's making and that she is on her own timeline, but when I saw this week's theme... "Buttons and Bows"... I got a pang. She can't work a button, she doesn't have the fine motor control, so for me, the button is bittersweet.
