As promised, I photographed some of my button collection.  I was inspired to do so after having bought some more from an op shop.  I love stumbling apon fabulous stashes of buttons for sale and this particular shop had a small wicker basket overflowing with tiny snaplock bags of matching buttons.  I only bought three little bags, but I wish I had bought more.  I’m going to go back as soon as I have time.  I love buttons.

Here are the new additions.  Click through at the end to see some other of my favourites.

These ones are just plastic, but I like the crest.  Lord Adlington wants me to make them into cufflinks for him.  I don’t want to break up the set though and I’d rather make cufflinks from metal buttons.

These little cuties are some kind of metal and have “M263-I8L” on the back of them.  I have no idea what that means, but I love them.

These guys are metal too and the design is on both sides of them.  They make me think of the Aztecs.

Did I mention that I love buttons?
