Patent leather buttons

No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth--just busy with a new class and a big project for Britex! The absolutely drop-dead gorgeous patent leather buttons, above, have a little something to do with it :) With a professional development workshop at SFSU on Saturday at 11, was waiting at the door of Britex before it opened at 10 a.m. and raced up to the 3rd floor.  A super kind and helpful employee (didn't catch her name, but she had beautiful pink hair!) helped me pick out this selection and I was out of the store by 10:13, arriving at the classroom with 5 minutes to spare--very exciting!

My garment for Britex is finished and I'll post about it around the 1st of November.  Any guesses as to what it is? :)
