Did you know I have a ''thing'' for antique buttons? Maybe not, why would you. I especially love the glass ones. There are a few of them in these pictures. I do have more and in my next life when I will be super organised I intend to keep them all in the same place. The beads in the top image by the way, they are Amber beads which belonged to my Great Grandmother, the Great Grandmother whose nightdress fragment I mention in this post. Her name was Florence, she was a midwife who received a Royal medal after the second World War for delivering babies during bombing raids at risk to her life. I have some memory of her as I was around 6 years old when she passed away. Anyway, this wasn't meant to be a trip through my family tree.
These are random images form my week. The drawer in the chest the books are piled on has a glass front. I only just noticed that you can see through that....good thing I don't keep my smalls in there.
