I just got these maplewood buttons from LovingleeCrafted. They were in my button and bead post last week. Holly says they make AWESOME Other Mother eyes (a lá Coraline). The buttons are so light, but so beautifully detailed. The elegant trees are burnt into the wood.
The one thing I was surpised by was how BIG they are. In the seller's photos, no scale reference was given, so I really thought these were about an 1" round. The description also doesn't list a size. As you can see, they are just about twice as big as I thought. This isn't a bad thing, but it does serve as a reminder that adding a familiar object to your photos for scale in addition to providing measurements in your text can be very helpful for buyers to picture the actual size of something. The same was true of the great buttons I got from Beadfreaky the other day. They were also about half again as big as the picture made me think they were.
Regardless of the size surprise, I am really delighted with both of these purchases and the seller's fast shipping and wonderful customer service.

I LOVE those buttons. I hearted them when you posted last week. I'm even more intrigued since you say they are bigger than you expected. I'm usually surprised but in the other direction.
Thank you for the tip on scaling the buttons in your blog. It helps me because I have an Etsy shop where I sell wobbly chipboard epoxy buttons with doodling on them. I need to put something next to it to show the scale. If you want please check it out at www.thelemondroptree.etsy.com
You can also check out my blog at www.thelemondroptree.blogspot.com
I've seen your buttons lemondrop and they're really nice! Try a quarter or a dime.
perfect for earth day!
I love buttons! ... have I said that before...?
