Button Cake vintage recipe by Betty Crocker

What is it about the humble button that is sooo appealing? Mr Woo and I were discussing it. Buttons are meant to be utilitarian, yet they've become treasures {to those of us who treasure them that is}. My love affair with buttons began a month or so before our wedding when I began making our wedding favours which were cashmere and lambs wool hearts with a linen tag embroidered with our names. I used vintage  buttons to attach the tags. That was all it took! I've been hooked every since! I've got an ever growing collection of tins full of vintage buttons!

You've gotta show me if you've got any special buttons or button related anything! I find joy in ooooing and ahhhing over other people's treasures too! Come on! Show and tell!

Today was a fun day. My friend came over and we had grilled cheese & red onion sandwiches and soup followed by Mississippi Mud Pie while crafting! I didn't get very much done I must admit....I'm maybe 1/4 of the way through a necklace. Then we went to church with my MIL and my friend received a message that meant the whole world to her!!!!
And more fun news! Look! I won a surprise! Mrs Wishes from Alexandra's Wishes chose 3 winners for her give-away and I'm one of them!!!! I'm so excited!
