For the button lovers among my readers!
I had never seen anything like this before so I figured it was something that I needed to share, even though I don't collect buttons myself.
Seen in an antique shop just south of Seattle (and photographed with permission) on my way to the Pacific West Quilt Show August 25, 2011.
Have any of you button collectors seen something like this before?
This little gem is about as unique as the Signature china plate I found two years ago that reminded me of a Signature Quilt. You can read that post by clicking here.
May we never grow weary of collecting! And may our children survive our passing when confronted with the consequences of our passion!!
Cheers!
Karen
PS: There was an excellent article about buttons that ran in PieceWork's July/August 2011 issue.
