Even more Vintage Buttons...

I spotted these today and 'had to have them'. They're so cute.

Both of these sets of pretties are from www.elizabethwrenvintage.etsy.com

The button fiend strikes again...

I should be saving my $$. I love vintage buttons. I've been designing out some new clothes and have been working on getting all of the right buttons and fasteners for everything.
I love these. I really, really love the cloth covered buttons in this set. They are in excellent condition too. Ready to be made into something cool.
I got all of these sets from www.elizabethwrenvintage.etsy.com
These are lovely.
I just bought these.

I've gotten blacks and browns today. Which is good. They'll match well with a lot of different fabrics. I'm in an argument with myself when to start making fall/winter clothing (july and august are ironically the best times). I have enough fabric to make 5 or 6 very nice coats, and some of the buttons that I bought today will probably be set aside for those projects.

Vintage+adVintagous

I found these gorgeous vintage garments over at http://www.adVintagous.etsy.com/

Gorgeous. I've never seen a red corduroy trench before. Tasty.
I just drool over these kind of skirts. They were very, very popular in the 1950's and a little into the 60's. I want a revival of post WW2 Dior style. It rocks.
I'm liking this striped underskirt. So pretty. :)
I like my polka dots. This is the right kind too. Not too gaudy.


More perfect polka dots. :) I love these skirts. I want to make skirts now. :)

More Vintage buttons...

Some lovelies that I have gotten via www.elizabethwrenvintage.etsy.com ...
Happy buttons.
I seem to have this compulsive need for vintage buttons. Red buttons are in the top three.
They're like cherries. I think I will go eat some real cherries, I'm in the mood after looking at these.
Elegant silver buttons. I'm not sure exactly what I plan for them, but blazers or boleros would be good.
Pink. Tasty. I have a lot of pink clothing that I'm working on.
This is a really pretty set all around, but I really love those little pearl buttons.
I am thinking about making some white clothing. Hopefully I won't stain it to death too quickly.
It's so pretty, and so high maintentence.
Chocolate: rich, flexible, useful.
That long row of 11 buttons in the middle were what made these a neccessary addition to the collection. They're so cool.

More strawberry buttons. Happy buttons.
