The sun is shining! Woo hoo! I had playground duty at Jane’s school today and got my fair share of vitamin D while watching the kids play out in the cold. Oh happy day!
Something else making me smile is this:
Vintage buttons! I bought this button card on ebay for a mere $5.50 (plus shipping, I know). It had writing on the back and the date – July 1948. It says, "Sent to me from Florence Meek. Many of the buttons belonged to her mother and my pal in Port Arthur Texas." That makes me think that some of these are really old. Can you believe my luck? Oh, I just love it!
I am wiping the drool off my chin. You lucked out big time! I love the little sun button at the top. Can’t wait to see how you use them!
oh wow erin. Score! i’ve gotten some great buttons off eBay but those take the cake–lucky you!
Lucky, lucky girl! Oh, how I love buttons!!
Great score, Erin! Can’t beat that price, baby. I love the red, lacy one in the top right-hand corner. So delicate looking.
What a find! There are some really beautiful, intricate buttons there. Do you plan to keep the board intact, or use the buttons in projects?
what a WONDERFUL assortment! great score.
can you see the envy green through this comment?! how awesome are those! i can’t stand it! you got some serious button love there erin!
That makes me smile too!! What a great find..I’m jealous!!
What great buttons with a great history. I sort of like the composition they make just as they are on the card.
whoa. i’m smiling, too. you said you liked green? that would be my face, right now!
lovely! lucky you.
love your buttons!
Scoooore!!
