There is a funny story behind these photographs. For years I love these buttons very much. Often I wishe4d that I had a suitable cupboard for them. But I did not until last year. My sister Daisy designed a new desk and cupboard for me and her husband René constructed everything for me. Now I could buy my buttons for the new desk and cupboard. A couple of weeks ago I was again in the shop where they sell them. I hope you love the photographs because I think they are eyepleasing too. Image copyright: Thea Walstra

Unusual subject Thea. In my opinion, the detailed view is stronger than the main picture because you forget the basket. BravoWilliam Boyer 29 Sep 2006

Love them, and would have them out in a basket to display them. Maybe would have done some kind of 3-D boquet or mosiac with them if I had nothing to use them on. Around a art piece as a frame? Beautiful!Mrs.David Jobes(Dee) Jobes 28 Sep 2006

Great photos Thea , love both of them ....at the first glance I also thought there are a lot of small pumpkins ! These small things are really eye- catchers LOL :)David Holcombe 28 Sep 2006
This one made me laugh. We are now in Autumn and we start to have pumpkins everywhere. At first I thought the top photo was a basket of pumpkins. Buttons, no less.Eileen Kasprick 28 Sep 2006
Love this "fall" display of drawer pulls. At first glance I thought it was gourds. Very excellent. Thanks for the comments on mine. From you it means a lot.Loredana 28 Sep 2006
