I found a bambie and a bear from the forest of Hammond.

yup these are also found at the amazing Hammond. Love the colour of the glass with the rosebuds hand painted, pretty.

I just love this picture found on Pinterest via Noretta

I wish i had another like this - come on birdie come home.

Thank god we found 4 of these babies otherwise i would really have to fight pants for these.

Okay so imagine me talking in a creepy gollum voice . …. It’s exactly the way i feel about the next few buttons i will be posting over the next few days. They are all glass, like this Cameo…. Wowza Trousers (as a ginger friend of mine said this morning) All of the buttons in the next few posts are most of the odzies i found in Hammond .

So last summer my favourite skirt started falling apart at the buttons seams. It really was starting to look a little tacky and used. I was trying to find every excuse under the sun not to chuck it away. Eventually i figured it out and the solution was really simple! I pulled off the old fabric buttons, sent it to Levingers to get it dyed navy, sewed on some pretty new navy shanks and Voila ! A Brand new skirt. It’s still my favourite and i think i could get a few more years out of it.

While im on close ups, here’s another pretty detailed one.

love the patterns on these pretties. yum.

I think the only thing im going to miss about winter is the winter sunlight. Love the lighting on these buttons. Spring please come back soon. This winter situation doesn’t make me happy, but these flower buttons do. such old nice kinds , these….
