Button Floozies

When I saw these at an antique store, I could not get them into my cart quickly enough! (Swoon!)

Well, not really Tiffany buttons -- but that beautiful blue color that reminds me of it! I found these beauties at an antique store; they're not real antiques, but probably from the 1950s.  They're made from two different kinds of plastic -- the blue which is molded in a mottled texture, and the inserted pearly white center. These are from the same period.  Look at that pretty silvertone detail along the bottom!  The button is covered with a kind of faux leather. The effect reminds me of a pillbox hat! These are just common silver buttons, but special, I thought, because of the cute card with the Eiffel Tower on it.  It's marked on the back that they're made in France.  This will go into one of my art journals with a French theme, probably -- someday! 'Just a little Tuesday morning button peeping!  Thanks for looking with me!

  I recently spent the day with my friend, Sharon of Corgis in my Garden blog. Over lunch, she showed me the silver button bracelets that she's been creating.  She's been perfecting her designs for a while now, and she's found the best band materials, prettiest clasps and most importantly, the most beautiful buttons to create her bracelets. Being a Button Floozie myself, I was entranced with all the shiny buttons and wanted one of each! Here's the best part, Floozies: She's made them available for purchase through her website! You can choose from one or two rows of buttons (shown above), and her prices are very reasonable. (Her prices include shipping, too!) If you're interested in owning one of her gorgeous creations, you can click here to go to her blog. Just send her an email through her contact link for more information. Oh, and don't forget to stop over and visit me at Brynwood Needleworks . I love sharing my current projects, stori...
