Oh my - I never thought I would get so excited about buttons...
I have sourced an amazing lady in the US who makes buttons from slices of tree branches - Tree Branch Buttons!
They have inspired me to make a range of leather watercolor sketchbooks that have wide leather bands that are closed with these gorgeous buttons - who knew they could make me so happy?!

The first batch of books are already made and the buttons are all used up - more buttons ordered and then more happy books to make...

But busy working on a very special commission for Kelmscott this week - will have some photos of the work in progress later this week.... now where is that coffee?
