I've Got the Button
I've been indulging my button love the last couple of days, all over the kitchen table!
I'm going through my vintage and antique buttons that have already been sorted by color and choosing lots and lots to use for my art, and to sell, too!
It sounds tedious, but for me it's like sifting through gems -- very tactile-ly pleasing!
I especially love the black ones!
Even though some of them can be grungy and dirty, it doesn't bother me! (That's true love, right?!)
Here's what I ended up with -- and now I'm just itching to start creating!
We're counting down to the first day of school, and I've been having some intermittent computer woes...both of these things are responsible for my posting less than normal right now! Please be patient and things will get back to normal soon!

so glad that I stopped by....My blog reading has been so little the last few weeks...but have a few free days to catch up.
I have those little kids' cake pans. My sister and I would bake in them.
Fun, fun, fun:)...and I still have my Grandmother's buttons!
But, the date is earlier here as well. I think it is around the 18th or so. They are trying to work towards year round and I do not like it. Let kids be kids, is what I say.

And I agree, I love sorting. It's cathartic. I do it with my beads all the time when I can't get it together elsewhere.
