Button Floozies: This little birdie...

This little birdie...

This little birdie is posing prettily with some of my recent antique store purchases: a spring, some laces and trims, and, of course...

some beautiful shell buttons, lovingly preserved on a scrap of card. They have a beauty all their own!

Here's a link: http://www.plushpussycat.com/search/label/frogs I'm so glad I found your blog today--it's a lot of fun here! :-) I look forward to more kinship with my fellow button floozies! ;-) Jennifer; February 6, 2012 2:37 PM
