i like buttons!

i admit it!!!  there is just something about them that make me smile!  i get excited when i go into an antique store and find an old jar full of them!  i love searching through the jar and finding the treasure buttons...those that just speak to me.

so what makes a button special?  it's a lot of different things.  it could be 

one or more of these characteristics:  color, shape, size, texture, design.  i look for buttons that are different from all the plain round ones with 2 or 4 holes.  here are some of the ones i found today!!!

all of these colorful little treasures were in one  jar!!!  there was not a single 'bad' button in the bunch!  how happy!!!
