After my last posting I missed a button from my dress. Yesterday I found it, so
I lost a button,
A little silver button,
So I looked for my button
Most everywhere.
I found my button,
My gold rimmed button,
So I sewed on my button
Most firmly there.
Just to make you smile!
With apologies to AAMilne.

This is the button that i got yesterday when i went to Bovey Tracey. Think i might put some ribbon through it and make it into a badge/brooch :D
Still not sure on the photo...didnt turn out like i wanted but i like the overall photo&light [took it on the window sill and the light was shining through the curtain] So i guess im pleased!
Got a postcard from my friend Sarah today! Read it while eating a lovely jam doughnut from the best jam doughnut shop!

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 was considering putting this up as one of my photos for the Macro Monday theme Button(s) but thought that as some one had already put a similar photo up it would miss the Cut. This is a button from my Number 1 Home Dress whilst I served in the Royal Air Force from January 1977 until July 2014. Per Ardua ad Astra "Through adversity to the stars"

I came across these further out on the board walk. Water is still to deep for anything to happen. managed to get a blue heron foraging and it looked like he was sitting on the water like a goose. They are wading birds and he was in the shallow water.

(This tiny button is at the end of my little 4" flashlight.)
HMM to all.
This is another button from my vintage collection. It's well over a hundred years old dating back to the 1900s. The little waistcoat button behind it was thrown in as a gift and I love it. The carnelian bead is just there for a bit of extra colour really. :)
These delightful 'button mums' are very perky and bright. Usually only 1 - 1.5" across, they provide a warm glow during the autumn time period.
I've always thought of boot buttons as black, but it seems some of them were very colourful. I don't know how many buttons were on each boot, but it's hard to imagine pulling a boot on and having to draw each button through a hole with a button hook. I guess they got used to it, but what a performance! Both the boot buttons and the folding button hook date from the 1910s. The buttons are ⅜" wide.
