Out for awhile, but hopefully, not for long . . .

I will have surgery next week, and probably be out of pocket for a month, maybe two. But, please don’t forget about me – the Button Lady!

I love these brooches above – mixing wood with Mother of pearl – Who’d a thunk it? But, it works!

I will check back in, probably a day or two before my surgery, and then when I am able after that. Please send any comments or questions, because I will be able to see them and read them while I’m recovering.  Also, if you have any button ideas, I’d love to see and hear about them! Thanks so much!

Winding Trails Mosaic Tray

This flowing mosaic metal tray was a fun one to create! The combination of these colors work well together! Olive green, spring green, Aqua, Turquoise and Black. Pay special attention to the black buttons. They were all vintage, and have very unique shapes, swirls, indentions, some are even faceted! And, the blue and green floral buttons are a fun touch too!

This tray just screamed “Mosaic” when I found it, because it has a small lip all around the base, perfect for a mosaic piece. And, the legs are small, scrolled, and white.

Size: 10″ x 12″

Price: 15.50 – **SOLD**

The Seasons of the Button!

Oh my . . . one of my favorite creations! The four seasons in colorful detail!

This 12″ x 36″ canvas has it all – the images of each season in their glorious splendor!

From the bottom: Spring has sprung! Lots of flowers – daisies, roses, blossoms on the branches, pinks, greens, bee’s and a ladybug, and even an owl perched on a branch.

Then: Winter is shining and twinkling! Lots of different snowflakes, icy white and blue buttons hanging from the branches! A flurry of beauty!

Moving up: Summer in full swing! The sun is shining off to the left, and then, there is even a sandy scene, complete with sea shells too! Lots of hot, gorgeous colors!

Finally: Fall is happening in golds, oranges, browns and a few purple buttons too! The leaves are falling, and the harvest moon is big and full, surrounded with faux coral as an accent!

Copy of an Ancient Roman Coin!

OK, this is one of the many reasons, I love vintage and antique button searching! In one of my button jars, I found this awesome old COPY of an ancient Rome coin. At first, I thought it just might be really one of the coins, and noticed that it was marked “Copy” on the back of the coin, but it is just amazing! I am on top of the moon. I got out my magnifying glass (a MUST for all Button collectors), and looked it over! Then, I searched online, and voila . . . this is what it is:Ancient Rome KAICA POC (of Ceasar) 9AD to 12AD A coin from ancient Rome about the time of Jesus Christ, 2000 years ago. Way cool! The inscription KAICA POC means of Ceasar and the LN is a coded date. Am I excited about this little jewel in my jar????? You bet! On the back is a stalk of wheat, and what you see on the front, is a Palm Tree, and little dots encircling the coin. And, it has the words, KAICA POC on it too! (Everything is faded, but clearly there!) I smiled for a couple of days after this find! See More
