I have a special button to show you today. It is an
antique Christmas button with a mistletoe pattern!
Here is this beauty– I bought it at Portobello Market in London
last summer. It measures one and a half inches in diameter.
It is ceramic with handpainted mistletoe twigs and white
berries. There are eight rhinestones around the edge for
a special dazzle. What a button!

The only thing better than an exquisite mistletoe button is four of them. Perhaps if you sew one to your hat, you will get a Christmas kiss!
aren’t they pretty!
They’d be pretty on a little green jacket, wouldn’t they?
very nice!
