A peek into the haven for my special vintage buttons... the 'heroes' that I place on the spot where I want the emphasis of the piece to be...I found this old jewelry box at a thrift store and love it's green/blue color. The velvet lining of the eight compartments is a soft nest for these beauties to lie in wait... the satiny sheen of the inside of the lid catches the light in that old romantic way...
Over the years I have developed a system of 'organization' for my embellishments that tends to get reduced to a tangle when creativity is in high gear. This box however has become a sanctuary for the pieces I do not, under any circumstances, want to lose track of. Seems to be working!

Those are such beauties! I can see why they are your "heroes" of design :) The box is lovely as well -- quite a fitting house for your button treasures.
Lovely vintage storage solution Carol :-)
All those yummy eye treats ha!

OH very cool buttons and button holder! I have an entire drawer full that I use. Isn't it funny how certain ones pull you right to them when you are creating something? I also love your jeans cuff!
