Go Team Buttons!
I have always found buttons quite beautiful but have lately actually let myself buy them! It's been really fun using buttons in my work, especially the decorative ones on my coffee cup cozies.
I am especially in love with BIG buttons. I have made some great finds - a mixture of vintage and modern buttons. So I thought I'd share some!
Buttons are also one of my favorite things to search for on etsy. I love all the variety you can find and the lovely way people photograph them. Here are some of my recent favorites on etsy - you can click the pic to be taken directly to the listing! :)
