To say how many would be a guess, but when I had them all on a jacket, I probably could have had it double as armor plating... There are various and sundry ones, one (the little bow tie shaped flag) is from one of my great-great ... somethings, and is from about the early 1900's, is the best guess.
I have the strangest compulsion to sing Buttons and Bows... |
I get responses from the "gee, that's festive" not-paying-attention type, to the ones who ever so desperately want one. I never have looked it up on line to see if it's available anywhere... It gives me a private chuckle, at any rate.
Scrooge, eat your heart out... |
And, I said I would put up a picture of the messenger bag I finished. I spun the yarn, plied, knit, and felted it. Not QUITE sheep to... sack, but close. I just wish the flap was longer on it...
It's more red burgundy than the picture. And guess who was just a teensy bit shy of the amount needed... Hmmph. |

I love buttons.....and I am proud to say I parted with my collection a few years ago. lol...doesn't mean I don't have other collections...see C for Collections tomorrow lol...
Love the Bag!You are so talented.
Collecting buttons sounds like fun, and that one is funny!
The bag looks great to me.
I like that bag. It is cute. I like buttons too.
The bag is gorgeous! So amazing that you spun your own yarn! I am planning to learn to knit, but am debating about starting with a round lomb kit. Is that sacrilege to an experienced knitter or a good way to start?
