Down in Bantry a couple of weeks ago and as luck would have it, it was market day. Hidden away between the fudge fairy and the live duck stalls, was this woman selling buttons. They were neatly stored in tubes with a sample on top… all filed in box by colour. This was the red box.
Damn, her secrets out…….. I have another one of her blue box – but I dont like it as much as this one.
I suppose to be precise, its her predomonetly red box…. which may one day have been entirley red….. and now that I think of it, it was more of a fish crate than a box, which is why I cropped it out.
She must come from a time before primark….. when people replaced buttons – rather than the whole shirt!
