A special treat are these glass " needlepoint " buttons from the Czech Republic. Very pretty and nicely detailed. Really you should visit Phil and friends at the PT bead show this weekend. The teeney but treasured bead market! Poor man has to run it without me!


Just because I do not feel quite like my usual self; does not mean that I could not go shopping for button for my yarn shop. The button man came to my house to present all his treasures and I managed to go over my budget but get great pieces! I am really in love with the giant african abalone shell buttons which Phil has at the PT bead show today. There are glass, vintage, wood, rhinestone, akoya and clam shell buttons! Yummy!
