Lookingclose...onFriday! photos on Flickr

Made by the jewellers W. Wright Ltd (est. 1848), this button is part of a set of six of what are known as “Bachelor Buttons”. Bachelor Buttons usually featured ladies in some form, either allegorical figures, or (as in this case) real women. Made circa 1905, this waistcoat button features the famous Edwardian actress Camille Clifford (1885 - 1971). Each button was made by taking a lithograph of a photograph of the actress, painting it my hand, and once dry then coating the image in celluloid to protect the image. The protected image was then inserted into a 9 carat gold frame and backing. It is placed against a bolt of figured pink and blue satin.

The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 12th of November is “buttons”. This was an easy theme for me, as I collect antique, vintage and interesting buttons. The only difficulty for me was choosing which one I wanted to feature. Originally I was going to do a collage of buttons, but then I decided to focus just on this one very special bachelor button from my set of six. I hope that you like my choice, and that it makes you smile!

The Orange Faerie’s Feast by raaen99

60 64

The Orange Faerie has invited her friend the Orange Princess for luncheon at her castle by the sea. With a wave of her wand, the Orange faerie produces a feast fit for a princess on the empty table before them: orange lobsters with orange carrots followed by orange pineapples and of course fresh oranges. Best of all there is orange flavoured ice cream to finish with. All this is accompanied by freshy squeezed orange juice to drink. What a fine repast produced by the kind Orange Faerie! Bon appétit!

The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” is “orange”. Two of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil are their vibrant colours and the array of different items that are produced. I thought this tableaux featuring a range of orange items really suited the theme. I hope you think so too!

Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
