Wouldn’t these look pretty on
the tables of a vintage-style wedding reception?
Even in a whiskey bottle,
they look wonderful!
Here’s the little heart tin filled with neutrals.
Sweetness!
Love, love the neutral colors.
They look so lovely paired with ironstone and old lace.
And then..,
I spilled a huge bag full of them all over my floor.
The good news is, I had a servant pick them up.
Actually, it’s an 11 year old who ran up $30 worth
of late fees on MY library card –
so I told him he had to do 30 days
worth of small, odd jobs to pay it off!
DON’T feel sorry for him!
A few weeks ago,
I showed you the sweet
button garland I made from
more of my old buttons.
I plan to continue adding to it
throughout the year, so it’s
long enough for a small Christmas
tree next year.
On a cold winter’s day,
there’s something very relaxing
about playing with buttons!
Button Blessings,

I love the pinks and reds….and I love that you are already thinking ahead to Valentine’s Day!! Very pretty!
Oh I LOVE buttons… I have an addiction to them… A REALLY bad one.. 🙂 Love all your pictures.. Happy New Year!!!
Happy new year! Love your buttons. The reds in the heart tin are just precious. And you are right: the neutrals by candlelight are romantic!

Oh, that brings back memories from my childhood! My grandma cut buttons off of worn and tattered clothing and kept them in coffee cans. My sister and I spent countless hours sorting them into piles of like colors. Our favorites were the buttons with “diamonds”.
Love the red buttons in the heart shaped container!
Dear Angie
Happy New Year. I wanted to tell you how much I love your daily posts. You inspire me and you always make me smile. This post reminds me of when I was a little girl and grandma didn’t have many things to play with when I stayed with her. But she had the best button box ever. Thank you! My new years resolution is to enjoy life more and see things more like you do! God bless.
I love decorating with buttons, so simple and pretty. The white candle with the neutral colored buttons is really pretty.

Man am I drooling over those buttons! I love to use them on the crazy quilt I am making. You can see some of the blocks here http://klatuuboradonikto.blogspot.com/2011/12/wip-another-crazy-quilt-square.html

I must look for more!
I being a sewer love buttons! These are so pretty…love how you have them displayed.
I LOVE buttons so I LOVED this post! Your photos are so beautiful. Eye candy for the button lover for sure!
I love playing with buttons too! You are a good mama… teaching your child responsibility! He will thank you one day. Love your button pictures.
Blessings, Audrey
Shocking, but ANOTHER thing we have in common. I was blessed with a bunch of little corona cigar boxes of buttons from my ex husband’s grandmother. She loved to sew. Some are still on cards, and the graphics are GREAT. I especially love the pearl ones – but the early plastics are great, too. I LOVE the way you grouped yours by color! They look so sweet in the bird nest. 🙂

Love the idea of a button garland! Very cute post!
These vignettes with buttons are so pretty…I especially love the nest of buttons!
Big hugs,

Oh thank you for the many ideas for me to display my many antique buttons
Button, button – looks like you’ve got the buttons. Great find. I consider buttons to be an art form. 😉
What lovely pictures and what fun!
When I was a child I used to play with my grandma’s button box. I could spend hours sorting them into little piles with my favorites in a special pile all by themselves. I still love buttons. They are like little works of art.

I love decorating with buttons. I have a red transferware tea cup full of ivory ones with a little candle sitting on top of them! Visiting from FNF!
When I was a Child one of my fav past-times was playing with the Old Button Collection my Parents kept for clothing repairs.
One year I glued Vintage Buttons to styrofoam balls and made Victorian Style Christmas Ornaments… still have them, they turned out awesome.

oooooooo love the buttons. What a great idea…
button garlands.
Oh yes, there’s just something about a jar full of buttons. I even have some old ones that were my mothers. I love digging into my jar when ever I need some little extra thing on a project. Love your #14 card. Is it from a card game?
I LIKE what you’ve done with all those buttons. How creative!
HESTER’S LETTER
Hester’s letter, scarlet “A,”
Gave the gossips much to say,
But their rudeness she forbore,
For she knew she was no whore.

Poinsettias!
So much fun from something so little!
Love your red buttons! I make button and ball garlands and stringing them is really fun! ♥
Wow! Love all the ways you have displayed your buttons. The garland is such a cute idea!
