My rule is that when I find the perfect button to complete a project, I have to use that button. I can't save it or hoard it just because I love the button.
I was searching for the perfect button to complete my polar bear purse and I reached into my recently acquired bag of beautiful vintage buttons from the estate of Marilyn Jahn, a dear family friend.
I almost broke my rule, because I am not ready to part with this button. It is magnificent. Very large (hard to find for purses without paying a fortune), and in perfect condition, but just the perfect shade of green with gorgeous carving details on the edge.
I had to go for it, Marilyn would want me to.
So, good bye fabulous green button that I have only had in my stash since June, and have only been able to admire and dream about your possibilities for 2 months. You and polar bears are a perfect match, I hope you go to a good home.

You're right, Marilyn would have told you to use the button. The purse is beautiful.
Beautiful purse and button!
OK, ditto...Marianne already wrote the exact comment I was going to leave. Great bag!
I think Marilyn loves to hang with the polar bears, I know I would. I wish I was rich, I would have the best felted vintage handbags this side of Texas!
