Deze week zag ik... this week I saw
(inspired by DezeWeekZagIk on the blogs by Daan en Roos)
When I was young I used to play with my grandmother's box of buttons. It was fascinating. All the colours and shapes and different sizes... heaven to a small child.
My mother also had lots of buttons, she inherited some from my grandmother and supplemented it with her own through the years. She still has the same box in her treasure trove of a study.
My buttons, unfortunately, always seem to be lying around the house in bowls, jewelry cases, on the floor and sometimes they even end up in the bin.
So this week I finally decided to round up all the buttons I could find in the house.
It turned into a bit of a treasure hunt but sadly the bounty was quite small. And mostly black. Guess that's what happens when you work in a corporate environment.
At least I made a start, the beginning of a button jar.
For Heidi and for Stella.
Here are some sweet shots of Stella and the bunny Oma made. We are so happy that Oma and Opa will come visit soon and hopefully there will be more handmade 'knuffels' hidden away in their luggage!
P.S. If you happen to be in Utrecht tomorrow (Saturday 20/08), then please drop by the Zelfgemaakte markt at the Mariaplaats :)

JAAA! Mijn oma had ook een knopendoos! Urenlang plezier!
ReplyDeleteElke vrouw hoort een knopen doos/blik te hebben....Ik had er dus ook geen maar heb een poos geleden mijn slag geslagen op de rommelmarkt!
ReplyDeleteDus als je snel een beginnetje wilt...
Oh I love buttons :)) Prettig weekend! ✗✗✗ Essie
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I love buttons too and surely it would be shameful for any creative person NOT to have a button box/jar?!
ReplyDeleteDoor jou stukje zit ik weer te mijmeren over de knopenpot bij ons thuis, de geur, het gerinkel van de knopen door je vingers ... mmm... dank je wel;)
ReplyDeleteIt's Buttonlicious!!
ReplyDeleteFijn weekend!
ohhh helaas woon ik te ver weg want het klinkt reuze leuk die zelfgemaakte markt :-)
ReplyDeleteMijn knopendoos is een bescheiden koekblik. Als koekblik niet geschikt, maar wel als knopendoos. Mijn Oma had, en heeft trouwens het echte werk. Een grote bak vol knopen, én nog wat meer. En dat dan over tafel gooien om wat moois uit te zoeken :-D
ReplyDeleteOh ja, leuk, een knopenpot!! Wat een supermegaschattige foto's van je dochter met konijn, lieieieieieief......
ReplyDeleteIk moet ook maar eens beginnen met een knopenpot.. En wat een schattig konijn met de blije Stella! x
