Earlier this year me and my sister went home to see our mother after her first operation. At the time she was feeling okay and definitely not in need of 24-hour bedside visitors, so we made our way to the shops on the Saturday. It's always good to have some Dutch food in Norway and I was on the look-out for some yellow fabric.
And then my eye fell on the buttons. Big buttons, small buttons, blue buttons, yellow buttons, black buttons. Buttons in the shape of flowers, animals, hearts. Buttons made of wood and plastic and metal. But there was one button I fell in love with. I just had to have them! I would figure out later what I was going to use them on.
Any ideas??
Oh pretty! Yous so lucky Mum do moan there are nowhere around here to get decent buttons
ReplyDeleteNow, whatcha gonna make to use up your pretty buttons?

They are so pretty! Since you had strong, positive reaction to them I think that wearing them would brighten your day and I'd want to wear them as soon possible. I'd put them on a shirt, one you make if you have the talent and time or, replace the buttons on a shirt you already have or go buy one that the buttons would look lovely on.
ReplyDeleteThat is actually a pretty good idea to change the buttons on something I already own/am going to buy. I never thought about that!
DeletePretty and interesting. It will be fun to see where they end up!

Oh...ze zijn echt superleuk. Ik zou zo niet iets kunnen verzinnen waar je ze op zou moeten zetten, maar ze zijn mooi genoeg om gewoon in een mooi schaaltje te liggen. :-)
ReplyDeleteDat vindt Miss Oswin vast ook! In een mooi schaaltje leggen en ze dan over een maand overal onder de bank vandaan moeten vegen!!
DeleteI didn't know what they were until I read your post. They are really attractive buttons.
ReplyDeleteGhostwriter says you can wear these pretty buttons as jewelry. Oh, and thank you for your good wishes in German for my Oma. She's feeling a lot better, but has to stay in a nursing home for a while.
ReplyDeleteThat might work. I will have to think about that because I don't usually wear gold or gold/yellow coloured things.
DeleteNo ideas but they are lovely. I do love buttons!
ReplyDeleteMaterial shopping can cause a shortage of storage space.
ReplyDeleteNOW she tells me! Mind you, even without the buttons I would be short on storage space. Unless I start using the (damp) basement.
