Cute as a button

Why are buttons so darn cute?Since I discovered The Button Shop a few weeks ago, I have been obssessed with buttons. I feel like a kid in a candy shop everytime I'm there, bedazzled by the rows and rows of buttons that line its walls. So far I've replaced the buttons on 3 cardigans, plus I'm working on some button jewellery and some button cards. Wanna see? I'll show when they're all ready, I promise.

What's your current obssession?

that's super cute idea - changing buttons on cardies, so simple, so effective! i'm harping after a dove-grey cardigan, and would love to put little pearl buttons on it. i feel a project coming on! x

I love those pictures! I've been buttons lately too. My current obsession is paints. Painting everything I can get my hands on. :)

OMG, I absolutely love your blog. And I don't say that to just anyone. :) These buttons are adorable. It makes me want to stitch them on note cards.

Grace LOVES buttons! I can't tell you how many button art projects we've done with grandma's button jar! I'm finding the perfect floating frame for Grace's card now, but I'm looking for one with plastic instead of glass... Glass in her room makes me sort of nervous :o).
