Sometimes when life is stressful and busy, a little diversion brings respite ... even if it is just taking a photo of each side of my button jar while taking a break at my desk. I do love color, and there's a bunch here. And I admit I'd much rather photograph buttons than actually sew one on a garment.
The colours are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis afternoon I visited an antique store and found three Ball jars full of colourful buttons. I didn't, in the end, buy them, but it was fun to shake them up and watch the colours mix up.
The button colors are so bright and beautiful. What a creative idea for Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteI love buttons. Great post.

I love buttons, too. I have a jar of buttons that my Mother had and I enjoy looking at them, trying to remember what they came off of! Every now and then I even use one! Fun post.
ReplyDeleteGreat mosaic! Love the colorful jar of buttons!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very colorful collection of buttons! I bet you have little girls who've lost them from their clothing? My button jar is full of my husband's greys, browns and navy blues.
ReplyDeleteI have a mason jar full of buttons, it's fun to sort through them when I need one:@)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute post! Love the buttons! Hope you stop by and see mine too! Sandi
ReplyDeleteI always loved playing with my mother's button box! thanks for sharing your beautiful images at MM. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at your buttons Podso, I really want to stick my finger in the jar and stir them around. I like all the pastel shades.

For some reason, I see lots of happy faces in that button jar! Maybe I'm imagining the smiles below the eyes, or not :)
ReplyDeleteI love buttons but, not as much as my grandma did. I have her button tin. Oh what a joy it is to me.

They look good enough to eat. =)
ReplyDeleteThe buttons make a fantastic collage! I really like the colours.
ReplyDeleteI need a button jar !!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me smile too! Button jars ~ full of color, full of charm.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather admire the buttons than sew them on too! You have had some beautifully colored clothes if these buttons are any indication.
ReplyDeleteBest,

I'm on the same page, rather do many things besides sew on buttons!
ReplyDeleteColorful diversion!
What great coloured buttons. I remember my mother in law and her wonderful button tin, all size shirt buttons etc.. Great mosaics. Jackie in Surrey, UK.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are beautiful , I just love color. My mother was a sewer and very good at it, she just didn't pass that gene on to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific idea for a mosaic. The buttons are so colourful and the composition is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI love the color in your mosaic...such humble objects bring comfort...I always think about my Mom's buttons when I see photos of buttons...Your humble objects sure brought a smile and some warm fuzzy feelings to me...thank you!!!
ReplyDeletegreat mosaic ~ very creative!
ReplyDeleteMy mother had a button tin. When we were sick, she'd bring out the button tin and we'd sit on the bed and play with the buttons, sorting them by colors, by those we liked/didn't like, etc. I still can't figure out why the button tin was such a treat, but it was!
ReplyDeleteFun post & I LOVE the mosaic!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy one,
Zuzu
