This beautiful postcard was tucked in a corner of my grandmothers desk. I love everything about this card. The colors, the image and the Art Nouveau style.

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. Now onto the buttons… My last name, Bouton, is French for button. Ironically I was in charge of the button donations at the Legacy for over 10 years. A volunteer job I truly loved. 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" and many other sites. 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
