...a big bowl filled with buttons? I recently acquired these and was planning to just put them out at the mall with small bags as a little 'self-serve button bar'. (I have a few fun buttons tucked away, but don't consider myself a button collector.) I should have just packed these up right away, but no, I had to start pawing through them.
I started to spy a few that looked interesting.
Right off the bat I found this little button with a working compass
insert. I've had little compasses before and little buttons, but never,
ever, ever a little compass-button.
I spent a few more minutes going through them.
I didn't find any big ticket buttons.
But found several that charmed me.
Now I know that before I let them go, I'm going to have to dump the whole lot and spend a couple hours going through them. If I don't I'll forever wonder what I might have missed.
This is a perfect example of why I never accomplish what I should. Some little thing ends up taking hours instead of minutes. Does that ever happen to you?
Lots of wonderful pieces...my daughter calls digging through vintage buttons...button therapy!
ReplyDeleteI am a bit slow coming to the party, but lately I have been a bit enamored with buttons as well. looks like you have some interesting ones there. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great little collection of buttons all by itself! There are so many unusual ones. I love the compass button! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I really enjoyed them!

Girl...my whole life seems comprised of little things. I never get anything finished!
ReplyDeleteKeep that compass button. It's wonderful and might come in handy when you feel yourself getting lost in your thoughts.
