Pushing My Buttons

Last week at Buskerfest, I stopped and chatted with a vendor who made buttons using panels from old comic books and magazines, which is pretty neat. Back in the 80s, at the height of the button craze, I decorated my favourite oversized tweed jacket with nearly a dozen buttons featuring everything from album artwork to the original Macintosh line art. To this day, I am fascinated by cool buttons and in my middle age, I've gone back to sporting them on my favourite jackets.

This snapshot is a sample of some of the buttons that were on display last week:
