Black glass moonglows, winning buttons, hunt buttons, old buttons, and more. Don't forget the Pearlies.

Ohhhh, pretty. And a new word, too: lignes

  • Thanks for the links, BlueHorse and fish tick! I watched Mary Poppins so often as a child, that (I'm told) I started speaking with a bit of a British accent. Confused the neighbours, so the story goes, who started asking if I was adopted. But I had no idea the um-diddle-diddle-diddle folk were in anything other than fansical garb. I also had this thing where I would randomly run around the house and yell "Posts, everyone!", at which point my parents were expected to stop what they were doing to brace themselves and grab hold of any unsecured items nearby. Very patient folk, those parents...
  • Yep, that movie had an effect on me during the formative years, too. A British bank is run with precision; A British home requires nothing less... /derail
  • buttons!!! I quite like these halloween bats, here. But abalone buttons are my favourite! (Abalones are in danger from poachers, though, so be responsible and buy vintage.)
  • Agh! Abalone poachers corrupted my HTML!
  • My gramma has about 10 butter cookie tins full of buttons she's collected over the years. One of my favorite pasttimes as a kid was to get to paw through them and find the pretty ones. Nice post.
