Umm... aren't these buttons simply... DELICIOUS?
Here's another "If you know me"... so, if you know me, you know that I LOVE buttons. So, it was pretty exciting when Miss Lena's mom suggested I use buttons from Miss Lena's Great-Grandma for Miss Lena's sweater... and the buttons arrived today.
I am in Button Heaven.
As you can see on the card (the ORIGINAL CARD with ORIGINAL TISSUE), they are made in Austria. The second I opened the package I thought "edelweiss", which became familiar to me after our trip to Germany in Fall 2006. So I checked online and I certainly do think that the flowers are edelweiss. (Ah, to have that song stuck in my head now.) That makes them extra special to me, considering my heritage.
The best part? The BEST PART? Miss Lena's mom said I could KEEP THE BUTTONS that I don't use on the sweater... umm, what? How SWEET is that? Yes, I am truly in Button Heaven today.
So... I will place the buttons on Miss Lena's Sweater tonight, take another picture for the webs, send the sweater off, and clutch the rest of the buttons in my grubby little fists. (Okay, that is a bit gluttonous. So, I suppose I will dream of a project on which I can use the remainder. YES!)
