The Bow Belle

Hurrah for Buttons Day has come again, and with that I bring another bow from MoFunAccessories .  Interestingly, this bow is the one that I bought initially.  The bow I wore last year for Hurrah for Buttons Day came with it as a freebie. If my Etsy records are correct, then this bow, delivered on November 23rd, 2019, was the first bow I bought for myself.  That makes sense, because I'd only begun wearing hair bows in April of that year, and Mama didn't start buying them for me until shortly before my birthday that same year .  As I noted in my introductory post, we were all wearing masks in public around then, and I have a hard enuff time telling people apart without face masks.  I reasoned that some of my younger patrons might have the same trouble, so some sort of hair bauble made the best sense.  It was kinda out of the blue, my sudden fondness for hair bows, but my friends and family embraced it quickly.  I was hoping that maybe I'd start a trend among library patrons,

Today was another one of those days where I had absolutely nothing planned, so picking the bow for the day was a complete crap shoot.  So I picked something random. Well...it wasn't that random.  This was a freebie that came with the bow I'll wear tomorrow, from an Etsy shop called VeryShine .  I have a bunch of their bows on my Etsy favorites list, and almost all of 'em are big and fancy...stuff that wouldn't gee-haw with my standard daily attire of ill-fitting but comfortable jeans and a T-shirt/peasant top/flowy, comfy blouse.  The button, on the other hand...this bad boy will go with just about everything. I wonder where that button came from, by the way?  It looks a lot like the buttons that my family's couch had when I was young, but I can't be certain.  Usually upholstered buttons do indeed come from furniture, and that's fine.  Reduce, reuse, recycle, and repurpose. That's all I have to say for today.  It's a nice, comfortable hairpiece and I

Among the holidays celebrated today is Hurrah for Buttons Day.  Why, I don't know, but I've always loved buttons.  Somewhere in my bedroom I have a box of 'em stashed away, and I also have a hair bow covered in them.  Go figure. It's also got a tiger on it!  I love his smug face! Etsy shop is MoFunAccessories .  I've gotten a number of off-beat items from this shop.  If you're a little on the crazy side like I am, this shop is your go-to.  The proprietor of the shop is also not shy about packing extras in with the item ordered, which is the case here.  I'd ordered a space-themed bow for last year's reading program, and the tiger showed up along with it.  I love the space bow, no question, but the tiger was a completely random addition and I ended up liking it even more.
