Is It Wrong?

Is it wrong for me to like buttons so much? I’m not sure where this huge desire for buttons comes from. I suspect it is with me because there were several years when I wouldn’t design with buttons at all because I never seemed to be able to get to the store and buy them. Now, every once in awhile, I will find a terrific deal on buttons on eBay and today is the day! Just check out the buttons I won on eBay. Woo hoo!

All from the same seller. What a find! And, don’t worry, I left SOME buttons for other buyers on eBay. :-)

Oh, and the eBay seller. Wonderful seller. Olive Antiques.

  2. I LOVE buttons. I have recently become obsessed with them myself. Just last week I raided my grandmothers tin that she’s had ever since I can remember. Those buttons are fun because a lot of them have a story- she has buttons in there from things she wore as a young girl.
    I like browsing the ones in the store- there are always cute ones- but they can be pricey.
    Nice find on eBay!
    Oh! And I love your designs! I’m getting ready to start your One-For-All pattern as a gift for a friends baby. Keep up the fabulous work!

  4. Kim – it is perfectly normal, at least in my household. I don’t sew, and yet I have developed an incredible fascination with buttons. They’re so pretty to look at, sort and maybe someday actually use. My button supply is only surpassed by my yarn stash! :)

  5. beautiful buttons! I have a hefty stash myself, caught a really great deal a few years ago when a craft store was going out of business. All button cards were 5/$1! Needless to say, I bought quite a few :)
