I love their sense of history and try in my own little way, to breathe new life into them. All my buttons have had a 'previous life' - whether living out their days on a card or lurking in a box - the buttons I use are found, recycled, vintage & collectible but very rarely new.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08698182710741253685noreply@blogger.comBlogger313125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5038901319386976861.post-11211699176875027742014-06-28T09:30:00.000+01:002014-06-28T09:30:11.881+01:00Lansing Button Salesman's Promotional Card<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I came across this 1958 Lansing Button promo card
selling on eBay recently and it's just so lovely - with it's fabulous
1950s illustration on the cover and pretty buttons on the inside - you'll definitely be centre stage if you wear these little beauties! I wonder how modern day Button companies now market & sell their buttons - do they still produce cards like this? Has anyone seen any? How do they compare to this vintage beauty I wonder...?</span><br />

But the blistering heat, and two stroppy children put paid to any more browsing...</span><br />

I sold these over on my facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BonkersAboutButtons" target="_blank"><u>here</u></a> and as of today, the buttons are now winging their way to Australia - so they are certainly well-travelled - made in the UK, at some point they have travelled to South Africa, back to England with me and now to Australia - I bet they could tell some tales...</span><br />

Not only do they have some lovely clothes, their labels are a really nice touch too - and... they have huge wooden buttons dotted around the walls of the store.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />Pete the Cat is wearing his favorite shirt - the one with the four totally groovy buttons. But when one falls off, does Pete cry? Goodness, no! He just keeps on singing his song—after all, what could be groovier than three groovy buttons? Count down with Pete in this rocking new story from the creators of the bestselling Pete the Cat books. You can also go online to the <a href="http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com/feature/petethecat/" target="_blank">Pete the Cat website</a> and download the audio of the book. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvlz_FQrXva3HcLEZWjGeXgEVk8UDLseQ7QnWDm23MwlaqcFCOExVmmWelejAg-tVrCNaU_sXqBXFR1SKyZ5sx3wi2w2K9ylBP3ZNA5sshjJcNCIIdJHBSIkC4AGb5gkMmIFls-ic37bQ/s1600/IMG_2509.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvlz_FQrXva3HcLEZWjGeXgEVk8UDLseQ7QnWDm23MwlaqcFCOExVmmWelejAg-tVrCNaU_sXqBXFR1SKyZ5sx3wi2w2K9ylBP3ZNA5sshjJcNCIIdJHBSIkC4AGb5gkMmIFls-ic37bQ/s640/IMG_2509.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've long been a fan of charity shops but have always drawn a line at buying the 2nd-hand soft toys; mostly because I'm not a soft toy fan to start with but more importantly - you just don't know where they have been and they are not always the cleanest of toys. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have good reason for feeling like this about soft toys - especially if my two children are anything to go by.. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGOJLLVEYD5QCEeQFOTvMsOEKpuVhDk5mnivjewD83m2wqIssNPvBl588X5RqCYLkdxd8_LaitbpkNAASPIZUwDGga3z087FCD2vHJl3eHgWj4M1cPLguRK3MvoT56bOjZyF-FMymbgbam/s1600/soft+toy+jammies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGOJLLVEYD5QCEeQFOTvMsOEKpuVhDk5mnivjewD83m2wqIssNPvBl588X5RqCYLkdxd8_LaitbpkNAASPIZUwDGga3z087FCD2vHJl3eHgWj4M1cPLguRK3MvoT56bOjZyF-FMymbgbam/s400/soft+toy+jammies.jpg" width="348" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Yip - they may well be five years apart, but both went through a stage of stuffing every available soft toy they owned, down their pj's! Now it may well be only my children who have chosen to do this particular little delight but this is the exact reason why I don't buy used soft toys from charity shops, so after much moaning by the 5yr old, we finally managed to leave the shop, sans Buttons Hippo thankfully! A little search later and it seems there are a whole range of Button Animals available <a href="http://www.bearlythere.co.uk/buttons-bears-m-24.html?TeKnoID=15af2f006afb5b74c0ebe32f51057886" target="_blank"><u>here.</u></a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've always loved hippos but having grown up in Southern Africa, we were made well aware of the dangers of them - they're kinda cute looking when floating in a lake - but they're big, very fast on their feet and generally pretty moody creatures - so steer well clear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You don't need to steer clear of these lovely examples though. I love this little tactile childrens book, called the 'Quiet Book' found via '<a href="http://gramanon.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/yesterday-would-have-been-my-mothers.html" target="_blank">Blessed Beyond Measure</a>' <a href="http://gramanon.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/yesterday-would-have-been-my-mothers.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a piece that I have been hankering after for the longest time. Actually, I've been hankering after <u>ALL</u> their products for the longest time! Made by the fabulous duo that is <a href="http://www.grecaweb.com/" target="_blank">Greca</a> - all their button products are made from recycled buttons. Not only that - their studio is based in a button factory - the lucky lucky so & so's!</span><br />

Best known for her children's series about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Grey_Rabbit" target="_blank">Little Grey Rabbit</a> and Sam Pig, Ms Uttley was a prolific British writer of over 100 books. Alice began writing to support herself and her son financially after she was widowed and by all accounts, she had a pretty sharp tongue - describing her contemporary, <a href="http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/" target="_blank">Enid Blyton</a>, as a "boastful, vulgar and curled woman"!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One of her books that I would love to get my hands on, is 'The Button Box And Other Essays'. Published in 1968, it was illustrated by </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">renowned naturalistic painter, <a href="http://www.thecharlestunnicliffesociety.co.uk/" target="_blank">Charles Tunnicliffe,</a> with whom Alice had a 30 year working relationship with - even though they never met in all that time! Both the book and the illustrations look utterly charming.</span><br />

I have never met Hannelore Kreinfeld, nor do i speak German <br />
but I reckon she is definitely part of the Bonkers family!
<br />
<br />
I did have a giggle at the reporter suggesting that Hannelore had an unusual hobby -<br />
if only that reporter knew that Hannelore is not alone - there are many many others out there!<br />

Australian quilter, <a href="http://inaminuteago.com/about.html" target="_blank"><u>Sharon Boggon</u></a>, created a wonderful Y2K crazy quilt titled "<i>I dropped the button box</i>". As a YSK quilt, it had to have 2001 different bits in it - with Sharons' definition of 'bits' being either a different fabric, lace, braid,
charm, button or ribbon. 2001 different
'bits' was much harder to have on hand than she realised - till her button collection
saved the day! <br /><br />Sharon has many photos of the 6" blocks and finished quilt online - I have chosen just a few of my favourite - click <a href="http://inaminuteago.com/buttonquilt/buttonboxgallery.html" target="_blank"><u>here</u></a>, to see more of the photos.</div>
