buttons

Purl always has such a great selection of buttons. I've managed to use dozens of their concave oval corozo buttons, but I'm having trouble deciding how to use these ones I picked up recently.


I had trouble selecting just one embroidered button; they're all so good, and Tsia wanted to take handfuls of them home with us. We settled on a dog with an apple because you can never go wrong with a dog and an apple. Right?


And speaking of interesting buttons from Purl, did you see the buttons we used for the Oliver + S samples in the windows of Purl Patchwork? They're felt. I can think of dozens of uses for felt buttons.

    Their buttons are wonderful. I can't imagine standing there and trying to pick just one!

    Cute buttons! I agree, I can't pick just one either, but I love the dog and apple!

    I was accused yesterday of an obsession with buttons. It was true! Love these.

    Ah, I too love buttons. I wouldn't have been able to resist the dog/apple one either. :)
