Edelweiss buttons

[pimpinett]

No depth of field at all, I must play around more with the camera. Anyway, edelweiss buttons; slightly smaller than I expected, don't think the size was specified, which means that I am re-thinking the project again. They are very pretty, though, and I rather wish I had bought more than just sixteen. May order some more and try out the other kind of edelweiss button they had in stock at some later date.

I have been looking around for silver edelweiss earrings for a while too, as I'm painfully stuck in a rut when it comes to that - I have two favourite pairs that I wear all the time, and I should mix things up a little. I have found a fabulous and way too expensive pair online (expensive as in too much money for what it is, the worst kind) and a pair that is not nearly as pretty, but the price is about a tenth of the perfect ones. Frustrating. I think I'll hold out for birthday money, that way I could possibly justify it..

Done with the skirt, waiting for A to decide whether he wants to come along or not. I think I'm going either way.

I like the metal version - have seen it quite a bit on Ebay and similar places. It might be a nice touch on something tracht-inspired, I suppose.

It would be ridiculous on me too, of course, but that's the point, after all. :) I did climb a tiny little Alp last year, my dad lives in Trento in the Italian Alps, but that's no excuse.
