It was 8 September when I told you the story of my adventures at the Braderie de Lille, which ended with a box full of some lovely buttons. It’s sad, my friends, that I’ve only managed to photograph the buttons four and a half months later, but better late than never, eh? So, without any further ado, here are the lovelies I snatched up from that box and bought for some ridiculously small amount of money (if I remember correctly, the vendor had even given me a further discount simply because I hadn’t had the exact change to pay him in coins…).
Mismatched, yet matching.
Art Deco…
Star Trek :D
Large red tones…
Three of a kind
And my favourite colour combination lately – green and blue!
Pulling them out again and setting them in front of my camera reminded me how much I had loved these in the first place. I really must knit some garments to go with them!
Unph, so lovely. They’re going to turn some garment from something ordinary (or, as ordinary as handknitting could ever be), into something FIERCE :D
They are very nice buttons! I love the blue background too (may seem like a strange comment but I really wonder how you did that!)
It’s just the inside of a decorative box I have. I took the buttons with it outside to photograph.
Star Trek ones are wonderful. I can imagine just perfect setting for them :)
BTW, I was on Hrelić just Sunday before last and there were oodles of stuff like that I slobbered over :) I promised myself no more hoarding but I think I’m gonna fall of that ol’ wagon soon ;-)
I love that 3 of a kind set. It reminds me of mountains. You have great taste in buttons.
I love these buttons, especially the mismatched,
