unstashed


I knitted this cardi a few years ago now.  I haven't worn it much; mainly because I've been a bit too precious over it (a lot of time went into making this) and partly because I really didn't like the original buttons I'd sewn on it.  Time for a change.  Small details can really alter the appearance of things.  
I'd forgotten how many pretty little treasures I had stashed away in my button collection.
Bags and tins and boxes in boxes of them



These multi coloured buttons are the perfect match for the textured forest green cardigan.  I got these from MacCulloch & Wallis (off Oxford Street) back when I used to work there.
I'd completely forgotten I had them.
Now it'll definitely get worn.  I love it like it was new

Fashionable Buttons

A mere scratch on the surface of my button collection (largely vintage/second hand).
I think I enjoy the cards the most.
