one pretty thing: vintage button jar

Hi everyone!

First: American friends, have you voted yet?  If not-- stop reading this and go vote!  It'll still be here when you get back, I promise.

Anyway.  Now that we have that taken care of, I'd like to share with you part of a lovely graduation present from my best friend Marissa's family.

It's a jar of vintage buttons!  I love it.

The buttons are all different shapes and sizes and colors.

Even the lid of the jar is pretty!  It's nice to touch, too-- it has that weathered-metal feeling.

I've collected vintage buttons for years, but this jar of them is special to me because it was such a thoughtful gift.  Then again, I shouldn't be too surprised-- it came from a wonderfully thoughtful family.

Have a fantastic afternoon!
