About Me
- bumble button
- The Legacy is a small, but very full thrift store. Everything has been donated and the proceeds go to the Sebastopol Senior Center. The most wonderful thing is what they specialize in; sewing, quilting, fabric, crafty stuff, yarn, books, scrapbooking, stamping, embroidery, ribbon and trim etc. It’s like a Jo-Ann’s or Michaels’ thrift store. They also have vintage lace and linens. This little shop has been my soft place to fall. It’s magical. Now onto the buttons… My last name, Bouton, is French for button. Ironically I am now in charge of the button donations at the Legacy and I LOVE it. Wanting to make a pretty button card to sew the loose buttons on led me to the discovery of clip art. Luckily I found "JustSomethingIMade" and "the Graphics Fairy". Kindred spirits! Then I realized I had 1000’s of similar images, dating to the 1700’s. Inspired, I created a blog to share all this ephemera with you creative ones. All because of buttons! And that is how Bumble Button came to exist.

I just saw your comment over at The Feathered Nest - how gracious of you to offer these beautiful pictures! I'm a new blogger, too. A bit overwhelming, yes? I look forward to following you.
It is so nice to meet you! Thank you for all these fabulous images! I will follow along. Have fun! :)
Seeing your vintage images made me think of a friend of mine. She and her husband collect vintage wedding pictures. They have them all over their home. It's really quite imazing to think you are showcasing wedding pictures of people you know nothing about. They are lovely and it's so nice to know that somewhere, there are family members being remembered. Char
