I enjoyed making them but the history of the button trade was what really captured my interest.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-79825870046444709422021-04-09T01:10:55.456+01:002021-04-09T01:10:55.456+01:00I first read about these buttons on another UK blo...I first read about these buttons on another UK blog that I follow.

Also it's a long walk from the house to the lake.<br /><br />Yes I'd love to meet up sometime, I'll email you about that.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342366280323032467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-72335267179125863392012-07-26T18:51:49.888+01:002012-07-26T18:51:49.888+01:00Ha ha Eileen, I've seen these buttons already ...Ha ha Eileen, I've seen these buttons already today, in the blog of your jar swap partner (I forget who it was), and was wondering what they were. Are they easy to do?<br />You mentioned Stourhead, I haven't been there yet and was wondering if it would be the sort of place to take my 88 year-old Mum when she comes down next week, or if it might be too much walking, steps etc.<br />Also just read your other blog. Perhaps we can meet up for a photo-outing sometime soon, although I have to say August is almost full already!joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288268403388265748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-75091319128011547352012-07-26T17:41:00.155+01:002012-07-26T17:41:00.155+01:00Ich dachte erst, es handelt sich um kleine Räder f...Ich dachte erst, es handelt sich um kleine Räder für eine Lokomotive...:-)<br /><br />Lieben Gruß<br />CLCloudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268425613867805495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-11585625231997890742012-07-26T17:31:45.874+01:002012-07-26T17:31:45.874+01:00These look great!
