buttons

I love it when the mailman brings me things. At the risk of sounding completely shallow and materialistic, nothing quite beats the joy of opening up the mailbox and seeing a little packaged goodie inside. Yesterday, I received some polymer clay buttons that I ordered from Tessa Ann on Etsy. Her buttons are ADORABLE, and once I saw them I had to have some. I ordered these:


and these:


I don't have any idea what I'm going to use them for, but they were so pretty I had to have them (the real challenge was limiting myself to only two sets).

In related news, I also had some Christmas-themed buttons made by Elena of Shimshoni Gallery. I'm planning to use them for ornaments, and also in little ornament kits that I'll put in my new etsy shop (or maybe on FaeryFire) (or maybe in both!).

Yes, I have a new etsy shop. It's like an addiction. But a little healthier.
