Belated Christmas Present

When I arrived at my office on Thursday morning, a little package was waiting for me on my desk. In it were these buttons, sent to me by an ex-colleague and dear friend who is in the process of selling up her house and clearing out her stuff to move on to a new life in a Buddhist community. In her note, she says, 'I found these while sorting out my drawers and thought of you'.

These little stars will be perfect for the button-decorated Christmas decorations I meant to make in 2012 and will make in 2013.
But I don't know what to do with these groovy green ones. They look like little green acorns so I'm thinking about using them on an autumn jacket - perhaps in shades of brown and orange? Or am I getting carried away by the seasonal theme?
Whatever I do with them, they are much appreciated. Thanks!

  1. I just keep a box of pretty buttons which I get out when I want to look at something nice! x

    1. That's a good idea - pretty things make life so much better, don't they?
