Thanks, Gina!

I wish to extend a special thanks to my blogging friend Gina, of ginaceramics, who surprised me with the antique button that's featured in my side bar this month.

Knowing my Swiss heritage, Gina sent a button that came, long ago, from a regional Swiss costume like the ones shown below.

One of the many things that makes the antique button special is that a close inspection of the filigree work reveals that it was all handmade. I'm delighted to have it in my collection! Thanks again, Gina!
