Lost Buttons


lost buttons

I like to pick up lost buttons on the street. These are the ones I've found so far. I started shortly after moving to Amsterdam. I think one or two may have been picked up while on holiday, but I decided early on that I couldn't be bothered to keep track of where each button was found. I was not surprised to discover that more than half of the buttons I've found are black. There are 3 metal buttons and 2 wooden ones. The purple heart-shaped one is the only non-circle I've found. Do you collect anything unusual?

I like seashells, but I suppose that's not unusual to collect. I also like fallen leaves, especially when the veins are all that's left. They dry out and crumble so easily that I never have them for long, though.
