It’s hard to get more rounded than a button, so I’ll take this excuse to post yet another kind of button collection —
Assorted buttons… mostly rounded.
Not that this is a conscious collection, it’s a group of ‘found’ buttons I put together when I came across them while packing up. Some must have been Bob’s (Politically Incorrect). Later I found political buttons old enough to have been his father’s, but by now they’re packed up again. They may show up in a later post.
Here’s a button collection from a display at MAD’s (the Museum of Art and Design) Counter Couture show last March. It’s a time-capsule, an interesting aside to the exhibition, and a flashback if you remember the Sixties (but as the saying goes, if you remember the Sixties you weren’t really there). It was a big time for buttons, so someone got a little humor out of the ‘Ban Buttons’ button —
A Historical View: Sixties Buttons at MAD’s Counter Couture
While we’re at MAD, here’s a view of a gorgeous and eye-popping crocheted wrap and bathing suit with rounded patterns. Curves may have been synonymous with groovy there for a while. —

As for the Sixties, here’s a test: “Remember what the dormouse said?”

Love those buttons, especially Gandalf for President. I’d vote for him, for sure!!!
My brother was wearing his “Aragorn for President” T-shirt last week when I visited, so there’s another good choice.
I’ll take either. Both great choices!!
And there’s Galadriel!
Good one! Actually, that’s my LOTR character. If you haven’t taken the test, I suggest you try it here: https://churchm.ag/lord-of-the-rings-personality-types/
This site is run by my son-in-law, and they don’t fish for personal data. I tested out as Galadriel, and Hubby as Bilbo! It was fun!!
When I first read it as a teenager (and was homesick after leaving for college) my brother told me I was Rosie Cotton. I’ve moved on now… and I didn’t know about the test – looks like fun, thanks!
Aha — Elrond! (good to be Half-Elven)
