buttons, little Spring buttons...

Now that I'm done with one sleeve and over half of the first front of my Martha cardi, I can amuse and slack myself by once again pulling out the BUTTON BOX!

I love the multi-colored trims I've been seeing on many garments and am ready to take the plunge into extreme closure...

On the left you see the temptation: three different, brightly colored, vintage, (probably post WWII ?) novelty buttons. On the right, very modern, graphic 2k5 plastic buttons.

The design of the cardigan can flip either way - it is neotrad with a nice simple edge finish. I REALLY like those wild colored disks! I've had them for a long time and never really put them side-by-side but their diameters match (check), their saturations match (check) and they have a FOLLY all about themselves that make the sweater SMILE (check)! WHIMSY galore...

BUT the question remains - will I hate myself in the morning IF I freak out with all that COLOR!?
