This collection was inspired by a visit to Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.

I  fell in love with the button collection they have on display.

Being a bit of a nostalgic soul I pondered on how the buttons reminded me of Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens.

I always found the passage describing Amy treasuring a button which had fallen off Arthur’s Clennam’s jacket particularly moving and a reminder of how memories and feelings can be invoked by the simplest of things.

Lace, dainty gloves, gentle stitching and of course buttons all feature.
