Button, Button, Who's Got the Button?

Remember the button game we played as kids (gave away my age, right)? Well, we never had buttons like the ones I just bought from crazycakes on Etsy. They are Czech glass buttons (new, not antique) and there were oodles to choose from. Good prices and shipping in the US was free!

I'm so excited about these buttons. When I saw them, I was immediately inspired to use them in some jewelry. I haven't started anything yet, but when I do, I'll post about it here.

Here are the buttons I purchased:































































Aren't they beautiful? Don't they just make you want to reach out and touch them?

I'm thinking pendants and bracelets. Oh, the joy of beading!
