Oh man. I want those. I wish the ad were in color!

They still make La Mode buttons! Damn, I'm kind of sad that I know that. We used to sell them at the fabric counter at Wal-Mart when I worked there, and I think they stock them at Jo-Ann Fabrics, too. Not as nice as these, though. Everything was probably slightly better quality in those days.

Wow, these buttons are simply gorgeous. They make my buttons look shabby in comparison.

hee a woman's sword- well I guess it takes them a bit longer to discover what the cause of death was (death a million needles!!) than a sword cut.

Yes! A needle is a woman's sword! A very tiny, pointy-at-the-end instead of sharp-on-the-edges, not very intimidating sword! To her embroidery, she is as a Viking on the fields of Asgard.
