And tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
My mind was young and then it grew
My thoughts known only by a few
A dream much too real to be leaned against too long
And all the time I guess she knew
Her thoughts still dance inside my head
Her comb still lies beside my bed
But the sun comes up without her, it doesn't know she's gone
And it remembers nothing that she said
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottled blues
And tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes.

It just seemed appropriate to my post being all about buttons today.
I'm trying to recreate the button box that I used to spend hours playing with when I was wee. Of course I do also intend using 'some' of them eventually.
My arty shot!!!
And my button box so far....

Hi Taz,
How funny about being swapping partners with Steph twice, I just popped everyone in a pretty bowl and picked them out in twos.
Hope you enjoy doing it.
Hugs,

I love the russian doll buttons, gorgeous!
Ooooo, we LOVE buttons! Those in your arty shot remind me of my Dad, I have some of those from a cardigan (?) he used to wear, and even my little girl asked why you have pictures of Grandad's buttons on your blog!!!
I'll email you after school run...

Golly, what beauties... the birds and russian dolls?? Yes, memories come to mind immediately when I see those other buttons, every grandad had a cardy with those on???
Lovely post, that song is like poetry.
You're doing so well with the button collection! Of course mine would actually get bigger if I'd stop using them lol. Where did you get the Russian dolly ones? They are just gorgeous!
