Happy Blue Monday

What a nice display of hand painted buttons. Glad you shared them today with me. I find so many things so interesting on the blogs. I had to laugh at your comment today on my blog about how you baked and photographed for Christmas. Now I bet ya I could have come over and eaten all those treats:)

Those buttons are so beautiful. I have bought a few old buttons at antique fairs I've been to. I could imagine myself becoming obsessed. They are like miniature works of art. Thanks for sharing.
