Button Love

Yesterday Analise over at Sugar*Sugar gave the challenge to "show us your buttons!" As usual I am late to the party, but I do have a few buttons to show you.

Lovely glass buttons

Sparkley rhinestone buttons (my favorites)

Buttons on Cards

Pretty Pink Buttons (of course)

Extra Large Buttons

Miscellaneous Vintage Buttons

Two jars of white buttons.

A couple ways I display my buttons. In a pottery dish.

On a silver two-tiered tray.

Pictured on the left is a button lot I just got on ebay that I am waiting to get in the mail. In case you couldn't tell, I really love buttons. I have made an attempt to sell some of my less favorite darker colored buttons. I really only want to keep the rhinestone, white, pink or really unique ones. To check out more button love, go see Analise's blog to get a list of other button collectors. After taking a look, I was so happy to see that I am not the only one out there with a lot of buttons. Joy tells me that I don't really have enough so I am challenging her to show her button collection and you will see why she thinks I don't have enough buttons.

I thought I would end this post with a picture my Mom recently emailed to me. This is a picture of my Maternal Great-Grandmother, Great-Grandfather, Great Uncle and the cute little girl is none other than my dear Grandmother who recently passed. I love this picture. I love her sweet little expression. I love that her shoes look really big. I love the she is fingering what looks to be some kind of button on my Great-Grandfather's jacket. Maybe she loved buttons too!
