Well, I don't even know where the past week went, besides behind me! I'm going to blame it all on Suzan at
Old Grey Mare. She gifted me with an amazing goodie box this week and it included buttons and buttons and more buttons. My button OCD means I have to pick up each and every one and turn it over twice and it takes some joyous time. The were all clean and mostly free of strings so much easier to sort and admire that my usual routine. There was no denture cleaner required.
This big whistle button was one of my favorite finds. It reminds me of Texas Ware marble. I did a little looking on the Internet but was not able to find anything about Texas Ware making buttons. This is a big 1" diameter button. If anyone know more about it I would love to hear!
These are glass buttons. I adore the charm-string button on the far right and the painted green one on the far left. Green buttons always seem to be few and far between.
BIG red plastic buttons that I have never seen before.
Dyed and carved mother-of-pearl.
Interesting plastic and metal buttons plus painted wood buttons.
Pierced plastic - love these! There were a lot of red buttons and some look to be Bakelite. I don't know how she could part with them and so grateful that she did.
These are beaded over glass and even prettier in person.
Tell me you couldn't lose a week in this amazing gift of goodness. Thank you, Z, for all the goodies and especially all the smiles!

I've started creating 'button cards' in my etsy shop using my found buttons.....so much fun and I think the graphics on the old button cards are just wonderful.
