For the love of buttons ~

I do love buttons. I try to use them in my artwork as much as I can. They are little pieces of artwork all by themselves! Some are just beautiful. Some are simply functional. But all are wonderful in my book.

Abbie of Button Floozies has declared this week International Button Week so I had to share this neat page from an old Victoria magazine that I'd saved. See the adorable buttons on the plate? They're cookies! I love the painted face buttons too ~

Where have you been little button?

Whose clothes did you adorn?

Have you traveled the world over?

How many years were you worn?

If only you could tell the tale

Of how you've come so far.

Through years of being sewn and stitched
and into my button jar.

Wishing you a wonderful Monday sweet friends!!
