More buttons - the postman brought me some more today so I had to play! The fancy filigree buttons have applique leaves and I experimented with filled leaves for the heart shaped ones.

I love these the leafs and stems are very nice with your buttons . I gotta say my favorite button pick is the one with butterflys. When I dump out buttons I still do like I did getting in my GM's buttons I got to dig and find my favorite in the bunch.

Ohhh, this is neat. Very clever. You must be having so much fun. Keep showing us your pictures. I love to see how imaginative you are. I keep on thinking you must have tapped your resources by now, but you always come up with some new ideas. Sure is fun for us who are watching!!!

Those buttons are lovely too! No wonder you come up with these cute leaf-and -stem designs.
I'm waiting for my buttons to arrive and start playing as well.

Following your link to EBay I had a look and found dozens of suppliers. Thet do some super merchandise. I also made the mistake of showing She Who Must Be Obeyed the pages of sellers doing rhinestones and the like. SWMBO is into flower arranging and all things pink and glittery, so that's going to cost me a fortune! Thanks Sue.

Get the free shipping,buy it now on ebay and set a limit before you log on. I love a bargain,especially a pink and glittery one.
by spendlove 27 Apr 2013
Come on Dennis, they are cheap enough and think of the brownie points you will accrue!
by dennis999 27 Apr 2013
SWMBO does not know the meaning of the phrase 'set a limit.' Anyway, I've decided to wait for the fire sale!

Bev that sounds brilliant AND will occupy you for maybe a short while or longer if you end up with a load of customers/patients who want the same
by spendlove 27 Apr 2013
Great idea!!
by dennis999 27 Apr 2013
If the hospital gowns over there are anything like they are here in the UK, you'll have a bit of a job. Here, they open down the back!!!!!
by bevintex 27 Apr 2013
thats why they call it ICU
I see you. lol
