I saw the prettiest lampshade yesterday made from those ivory cream coloured vintage buttons. It was at the Paddington Antique Centre (so many treasures!) I'm thinking of going back today to buy a gorgeous old medicine cabinet for our bathroom, so if I do I'll take a photo of the pretty lampshade for you!
I love buttons..and have such a huge collection of them...lord knows why? I dont sew...but they are just so unique and different..thanks for the inspiration..perhaps I may find some use for them now :)
HI Leigh Well buttons and mother of pearl!!! my favourite combination. The first image is just too sweet and potentially achievable even by me!! might have to try... xxx Julie
I mostly collect mother of pearl buttons and use them alot! I sew them on curtains, cushions, blouses and coats; lay them in a pretty bowl or string them to curtain tiebacks. When I was small I played shop with Mom's button box, used them as money...such fine memories! Love the post!
Very pretty. Buttons add a special touch to almost anything.
ReplyDeleteI love old buttons! And running your fingers through a big bowl of vintage buttons is so nice!!
