Button Brag and Button Art

I LOVE buttons ( I know! I know! I love a LOT of things) and the above one made of WOOD is my FAVOURITE vintage button from the 1920's. It has been used on coats, bags, cardigans,and now sits on my shelf in the studio to be coveted daily.
Here is the BRAG part
My husband, bless his heart, secretly bought me a stash of buttons

which arrived yesterday.
I think I went mad with delight.
Of course I had to google and see what button related art was out there in this big old world

and I found the work of Lisa Kokin
I love how she has connected all the buttons and created this delicate lacy mesh.
