35 cents? Now you'd be lucky to get an empty card for that price! lol I can't believe the price of buttons. That is why I save all the buttons that I can. Nice shot.

They're beautiful buttons! Love the similarity in texture in the button and the cloth you've photographed them on. Great shot!

Nice colors and textures (and inspirational too - you've reminded me of some nice buttons I have for this theme).

I love buttons! I used to go to a store that had remnants and leftover fabrics from a factory. They had a huge button bin, and for $2.00 you could get a big scoop of buttons. King Midas must have felt like that, sifting through his gold coins. "Mine, mine, all mine!"

Great photo of some wonderful buttons (I want them)!

(Notice none of the guys have commented on this theme? lol)

Nice composition--the colors and textures work well together. I bequeathed my button stash, including my mother's and grandmother's button boxes, to one of the Daughters Lorri last year. Occasionally I miss it when I need an old button to finish a project! And the King Midas reference by Sunny is so perfect! I loved letting the buttons sift down through my fingers!

Nice shot! I remember that brand from way back when my first job was in a fabric shop.

You composed this so prettily with the similarly toned fabric background set at an angle to its weave. Looks terrific!

I love you composing too, what a great brand name.
