I inherited my love of buttons from my mom, who has always had a soft spot for these notions. The variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and textures intrigues me as much today as it did as a child.

Image from flickr calloohcallayI imagine I looked much like this following a trip with my mom to gather sewing supplies; I love that the photo shows how gently these "treasures" are being held.
These images are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow could one not see complete beauty in such little treasures?
I love buttons. I wish I had been old enough when my grandmother died to realize how much I would miss her buttons and saved them. Damn 21 year old in me told my family I didn't want them. I must have played with them for hours each day when I was at her house. Thanks for the pictures. They bring back great memories.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kate! That 21 year old has definitely lived in all of us!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you missed out on your grandmother's collection, but I am glad that these pictures brought back good memories.
I am glad you found my buttons on etsy worthy of sharing on your blog.
