This week's Macro Mondays Group theme of "Buttons and Bows" reminded me of a simpler age, many years ago when buttons were saved for reuse and Granny's, or Mum's Button Box became a favourite children's plaything, often being re-imagined as a pirate's treasure chest, a shop's till, or just an intriguing kaleidoscope of memories, shapes, textures and colours!
So, this is my entry for the theme, as one man's trash is another man's treasure! HMM
--Thank you EXPLORE, I am very happy.--
Dieser Glücksbringer ist für die liebe Sigrid
... und für die Christine (Pixelchen1)

This is a button from my chimney sweep. He should bring me luck.
...one for all, all for one.
Das ist ein Knopf von meinem Schornsteinfeger. Er sollte mir Glück bringen :-)
I wish you a nice start of the week :-)
I used to teach kindergarten and collected buttons to teach sorting and patterns. The bottom row of black buttons for instance could be sorted by color, shape or how many button holes the button has. In the middle row I found buttons that resembled a bow. I'm retired from teaching but never did get rid of my button collection. I probably have over 500. I knew there would come a time when I could use them again.
A stick on Christmas bow. loved the refractive rainbow light shining on it. It's my choice for the assignment. #buttonsandbows #MacroMondays
Macro Mondays: Buttons and bows
Some serendipity with this shot - the flash was not charged so it did not fire and the shot was seriously underexposed. I boosted the exposure a lot in Lightroom and I am very pleased with the way the white translucent button caught the light from the window, which became the main light source . I hope you like it.

For the theme Buttons and Bows. My mom gave me a can of buttons when I got married, many moons ago. Poor mom......Making sure I was a good wife. I never used any of these buttons, but will keep them for the rest of my life, because.....mom.

No more than 3" or 7.5 cm (including negative space) - though going to the limits - the buttons are only 1.1 cm (0.43 inches) in diameter and the bow is 1.2 cm broad (0.472 inches)
"Buttons and bows" - I had to brood about this theme... buttons I do own a lot and bows aren't scarce good when Christmas is approaching ...
But: Which are really my favourite buttons?
There are only two, that will "win the race": the snooze button of my clock (ouch!) and the on buttons of my (little) coffee pad machine!! ; ) .. the shutter release button of my camera surely is unrivalled !!
As my snooze button is not really photogenic and there is nothing better than a cup of really hot and strong coffee in the morning, there was only one button left ..
This coffee maker is a very small and slim custom model (as I do not have the space for those bulky ones), hence the little buttons are on the top of the machine ...
I used the lilac face of a gold foil as background ... ... and I even found an appropriate ribbon for my favorite buttons .. : )
Happy Macro Monday everybody !!

"Buttons and bows" / Knöpfe und Schleifen ... das Thema hat mich echt ins Grübeln gebracht!
Knöpfe habe ich (wie wohl die meisten) etliche zuhause und Schleifen sind so kurz vor Weihnachten wirklich keine Mangelware ...
Aber: Was sind wirklich meine Lieblingsknöpfe?
Da gingen letztlich nur zwei ins Rennen: Der Schlummer-Knopf (Snooze-Taste) meines Weckers und die Anschaltknöpfe meiner kleinen Kaffee-Pad-Machine... (der Auslöser meiner Kamera ist natürlich außer Konkurrenz).
Ihr seht, wer gewonnen hat!
Die Snooze-Taste ist nicht wirklich fotogen und es geht letztlich nichts über einen heißen und starken Kaffee am Morgen.
Das ist ein sehr schmales und kleines (Sonder-)Modell (ich habe keinen Platz für die relativ bulligen Maschinen), daher sind die Anschaltknöpfe oben auf der Maschine hinter dem Pad-Behälter.
Die Vorgabe max. 7,6 cm ist daher eingehalten (wenn auch an die Grenzen gehend) : )
Ich habe die Lila Seite einer (Bastel-)Golfolie als Hintergrund benutzt ... und eine passende Schleife habe ich auch gefunden
Happy Macro Monday für alle!!
I tried and tried to spin a button like a coin but could never get a good focus with my macro lens. Finally, I gave up and shot this.
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.
