  1. A friend sent me the link to your blog and I'm so thrilled to see your collection. I've a few buttons (mostly medieval themed), but after seeing yours, a new-found fever for collecting is upon me).

    Thanks for the inspiration and sharing yours!

  2. Hi Medieval Muse,
    I like your blog, too! Thanks for visiting and commenting. I'll be updating soon with more medieval theme buttons; and then with collections of mythology buttons, birds, a fairy tale theme, a children's theme, vegetable ivory, pewter, and pearl!
