This is the way I display all the wonderful mother-of-pearl buttons I got from my grandmother. Rather than have them sit in a drawer, they hang on the wall.
After a bath why not get buttoned into this beautifully soft & cuddly robe. Your arms lie comfortably folded inside the internal sleeves and you are held while you steam, in every sense of the word! High heels optonal.
I got my belly button pierced yesterday. (skank city over here). I love it. This isn't such a great quality photo, aha. I also posted this just to tell you that I'm alive. And yes, it is legal, my mom took me to get it.

Apartment Therapy suggested 6 ways to reuse buttons...amongst which sticking them on magnets...simple and smart.
Pictured is a 2016 McLaren-Honda MP4-31 Grand Prix Car. The car is painted in 2017 McLaren livery which featured on the MCL32.
It was driven in 2016 by double Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso, 2009 World Champion Jenson Button and Stoffel Vandoorne.
A much anticipated reunion with Honda for 2015 brought misery for McLaren with a woefully underpowered engine ensuring that the team suffered it's worst season since 1980, finishing ninth overall.
An improved Honda engine did see the team move forward in 2016 but nowhere near it's race-winning days of old. The season started in dramatic fashion with Fernando Alonso having a spectacular accident after touching the Haas of Esteban Gutierrez mid-race. The Spaniard flew through the air and the resulting impact saw the double World Champion walk away from the wreckage with two broken ribs. Team-mate Jenson Button had a tough race and trailed home in fourteenth position.
With Alonso ruled out of the following Bahrain Grand Prix on medical grounds McLaren test driver Stoffel Vandoorne stepped in to the car and the young Belgian was a revelation. He outqualified Button for his first Grand Prix and went on to finish a creditable tenth and hand McLaren it's first point of the season. Button retired from the race early on with engine failure.
The third race in China saw Alonso return to the cockpit although he finished the race in twelfth position with Button a further place back.
The Russian Grand Prix saw the team score a double-points finish with Alonso finishing a lapped sixth and Button claiming a solitary point for tenth, both drivers opening their 2016 accounts.
Button finished in ninth position in Spain and matched that in the following race in Monaco, although Alonso bettered that result by coming home fifth, the car's highest placing of the season.
Alonso finished just outside the points in eleventh in Canada and Button matched that in the inaugural European Grand Prix in Azerbaijan.
The following race in Austria saw Button have his best weekend of the season. In mixed conditions the 2009 World Champion qualified an excellent third on the grid and would end the race in sixth position, his best result of the year. After this he would score points in only three more events in what would prove to be his swansong in the sport after a seventeen-year career.
Eighth position in the German Grand Prix was followed by ninth in Malaysia and a further ninth position in the United Stated Grand Prix, the final points finish of his career.
After the heroics of Monaco Alonso would finish seventh in Hungary and Belgium, the latter from the back of the grid after receiving a ridiculous sixty-place grid penalty for changing engine components.
A late tyre change saw Alonso finish the Italian Grand Prix in fourteenth position although, on new rubber, he did take the fastest lap.
Two further seventh positions followed in Singapore and Malaysia (this time from the back after a forty-five place grid penalty!). He matched his best result of the season by finishing fifth in the United States Grand Prix and then rounded of the year with a pair of tenth positions in Brazil and the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Sadly, that final race saw Button end his career with a retirement early on after a kerb-hopping exercise resulted in broken suspension, although he did make a one-off return for McLaren at Monaco in 2017..
At the end of the season, the McLaren drivers would finish tenth (Alonso), fifteenth (Button) and equal eighteenth (Vandoorne) in the championship, McLaren climbing to sixth in the Constructors Championship.

NOTE ON GROUPS
Usually I'd post this to more groups but, unfortunately, the ridiculous new limit on the number of groups that a picture can be added to prevents this.
If any group admins would like the picture in their particular group I'm afraid you'll either have to invite it or remove the posting limit for your chosen group.
If you don't know about the new group posting limits that were introduced by the back door a few weeks ago and would like to change your group back to the way it used to be, here is the link on how to do it:--
A blooming button bush was photographed at the Jones/Hungryland Wildlife & Environmental Area in western Martin County, Florida.
for some reason this makes me think of a boutonierre? Most of the roses are done here now but I just had a red one pop out of its bud this past weekend... so they persist!
Fall picture a day 83/91.
This sun dress appears to be a couple of inches to short. Just a hint of what appears to be a belly button or perhaps an avacado for snacking appears below the equator.
Plus check out the cartoon socks.....
An old OC of mine I made several years ago. I've wanted to make him in SL for a long time now~
His name is Picopop, and is unable to speak words! He only beeps and boops in little chiptune noises to communicate~
Inspiration came from capsule songs! Which I will give links to view since the PVs for them are what makes it! Enjoy ;w;

felted hearts on buttons: thrifted cardigan and deconstructed felted cashmere sweater... into little skirt.
These original 100% hand knit merino wool “Button” baby boots are sure to be a hit with both your expectant moms and their little ones!
These have just started to bloom. You can find them growing wild in the marsh but you have to walk through water to get close to them as the bush grows in very wet areas.
The tiny little green buds all open up into a billion tiny little flowers.
Fairly confident this is Coronidium scorpioides (aka Button Everlasting). Seen growing at the Burragorang Lookout in Nattai.
this was an attempt to make a quilt like this one: flickr.com/photos/eggmoney/400373863/ , mine doesn't look like hers which really worried me at first, the buttons were an afterthought in place of quilting stitching and I love them (I also tacked all the corners), in the end I'm happy with it

I propose here, on Flickr, a photographic story, with descriptive text, of a traditional Sicilian popular festival that is always highly anticipated, it takes place in the town of Fiumedinisi (Messina), in the last 18 years what is called the "Great Feast" has been celebrated only 3 times, always on the second Sunday of August, it was celebrated in 2007, in 2016, this year 2025, in all three editions I took photographs, those that I now present are almost all of the "Great Feast" of this year 2025. The town of Fiumedinisi is inextricably linked to her patron saint, Our Lady of the Annunciation, every year a traditional procession is held on March 24th and 25th, on the 24th the procession is made by the faithful on their knees, they carry a large lit candle with which they help themselves to support themselves, it takes place along a straight path in what is called "street of float" (it joins two churches), the next day there is another traditional procession, the two "Sacred Float," that of the Our Lady of the Annunciation and that of the Archangel Gabriel, are carried on the shoulders, followed by the faithful, through the narrow streets of the town. Then comes the "Great Feast" in August, also linked to the Annunciation, which occurs every year after many years. It is on Christmas Eve that it is announced whether that year will be the year of the Great Feast. At Christmas, "the Son of Man" is born, incarnated in Mary's womb. It is the Archangel Gabriel who announces to Mary the conception of the Son of the Most High. The iconography of the Sacred Representations depicts him kneeling before her, offering her a lily, a symbol of Mary's purity. The "Great Feast" in August has ancient origins dating back to the 16th century, the period of Spanish rule in Sicily. It was initially celebrated on March 25th, the religious feast of the Annunciation of the Lord. Later, towards the end of the 19th century, it was moved to August to allow the many emigrants from all over the world to attend. In short, the "Great Feast" includes a "morning procession" led by three young men who will impersonate the three main characters on the "living float"—the Mary, the Archangel Gabriel, and the Eternal Father. Around 11:00 a.m., the "Great Living Float," a very heavy object carried on shoulders, will make its first journey along the "street of float" (the one traveled on one's knees in March, but also on the eve of the Great Feast) with the barefoot bearers in ordinary clothing. In the afternoon, many boys and girls dressed as angels take their places on special seats on the "Great Living Float", the "three characters" (the Mary, the Archangel Gabriel, and the "Eternal Father" at the top) take their places. Now the Great Float will make the same journey in reverse, carried on the shoulders of devotee-bearers dressed entirely in white, barefoot, thus arriving in the square in front of the church-sanctuary dedicated to Maria SS Annunziata. Once the journey has finished and the Float has been placed on the ground, the ceremony includes, and ends, with an ancient dialect song sung by the children, with microphones, who dress up as Mary and the Archangel Gabriel. A curiosity, this "Great Float", an enormous metal and wood structure, extremely heavy, requires perfect coordination between the bearers. It is essential to raise and lower it in perfect synchrony, with all its "inhabitants" atop it. It is therefore crucial to avoid any oscillations that would be transmitted to the children seated at various heights, and to the Eternal Father, seated very high up. The moments preceding the float's departure, and those following its arrival, are of great concentration, silence is absolute, the launch occurs at the third blow of the hammer, all the devotee-bearers rise in perfect synchrony and "the magic comes to life"...! The Great Machine travels the "street of float" upon its arrival, there is maximum silence, and at the third blow of the hammer the devotee-bearers lower themselves, placing the incredible Living Float on the ground, renewing before our eyes an event of beauty and absolute wonder, the unique magic of an ancient Sicilian feast tradition.

Propongo qui, su Flickr, un racconto fotografico, con testo descrittivo, di una festa tradizionale popolare siciliana sempre molto attesa, si svolge nel paese di Fiumedinisi (Messina), negli ultimi 18 anni quella che è chiamata la “Festa Grande” si è celebrata solo 3 volte, sempre la seconda domenica di agosto, è stata celebrata nel 2007, nel 2016, quest’anno 2025, in tutte e tre le edizioni ho realizzato fotografie, quelle che ora presento sono quasi tutte della “Festa Grande” di quest’anno 2025. Il paese di Fiumedinisi è indissolubilmente legato alla sua santa patrona, Maria SS. Annunziata, ogni anno si tiene una tradizionale processione il 24 e 25 marzo, il 24 la processione viene fatta dai fedeli in ginocchio, essi recano una grossa candela accesa con la quale si aiutano nel sostenersi, si svolge lungo un percorso rettilineo in quella che è chiamata “strada vara” (unisce due chiese), il giorno dopo si ha un’altra processione, classica, le due “Sacre Vare”, quella di Maria SS. Annunziata e quella dell’Arcangelo Gabriele, vengono portate in spalla, seguite dai fedeli, nelle stradine del paese; poi la “Festa Grande” di agosto, legata anch’essa all’Annunciazione, che avviene ogni volta dopo molti anni: è la notte di Natale che si annuncia se quello sarà l’anno della Festa Grande, a Natale nasce “il Figlio dell’Uomo” incarnatosi nel ventre materno di Maria, è l’Arcangelo Gabriele che annuncia a Maria il concepimento del Figlio dell’Altissimo, l’iconografia delle Sacre Rappresentazioni lo raffigura inginocchiarsi al cospetto di Lei porgendole un giglio, simbolo della purezza di Maria. La “Festa Grande” di agosto ha origini antiche che risalgono al XVI secolo, periodo della dominazione spagnola in Sicilia, essa inizialmente veniva celebrata il 25 marzo, con la ricorrenza religiosa dell’Annunciazione del Signore, successivamente verso la fine del XIX secolo venne spostata ad agosto, per consentire ai molti emigrati, provenienti da ogni dove, di potervi assistere. In maniera sintetica, la “Festa Grande” prevede una “processione mattutina” con in testa i tre ragazzi che impersoneranno sulla “vara vivente” i tre principali personaggi, la Maria, l’Arcangelo Gabriele ed il Padre Eterno; verso le ore 11:00 la “Grande Vara Vivente”, pesantissima, portata in spalla farà un primo viaggio lungo la “strada vara” (quella che viene percorsa in ginocchio a marzo, ma anche la vigilia della Festa Grande) con i portatori scalzi, in abiti comuni; il pomeriggio sulla “Grande Vara Vivente” prendono posto su appositi seggiolini tanti bimbi e bimbe, vestiti da angeli, prendono posto i “tre personaggi” (Maria, l’Arcangelo Gabriele, in alto prende posto il “Padre Eterno”), adesso la Grande Vara farà lo stesso percorso inverso, portata sulle spalle dei devoti-portatori vestiti completamente di bianco, scalzi, così giungendo nella piazza davanti la chiesa-santuario dedicata a Maria SS Annunziata, terminato il percorso e deposta a terra la vara, la cerimonia prevede, e termina, con un antico canto dialettale intonato dai ragazzi, microfonati, che vestono i panni di Maria e dell’Arcangelo Gabriele. Una “curiosità”, questa “Vara Ranni” (dialettalmente, Vara Grande), enorme struttura in metallo e legno, pesantissima, necessita di una perfetta coordinazione tra i portatori, è fondamentale alzarla ed abbassarla in perfetto sincronismo, con sopra tutti i suoi “abitanti”, importantissimo quindi evitare qualsiasi oscillazione che si trasmetterebbe sui bimbi seduti a varie altezze, ed al Padre Eterno, seduto molto in alto: gli attimi che precedono la partenza della vara, e quelli che fanno seguito all’arrivo sono di grande concentrazione, il silenzio è massimo, la partenza avviene al terzo colpo di martello, tutti i devoti-portatori si alzano in perfetta sincronia e “la magia prende vita”…! La Grande Macchina percorre la “strada vara”, al suo arrivo, silenzio massimo, al terzo colpo di martello i devoti-portatori si abbassano deponendo a terra quella incredibile Vara Vivente che rinnova davanti ai nostri occhi un evento fatto di bellezza ed assoluta meraviglia, magia unica di una antica tradizione popolare Siciliana.
