I have admired the art of

The Button Florist - Celia Barbieri for quite some time now.

Naturally, I contacted Celia when I wanted to create some button flowers from some of my many

buttons and use this plaque from my daughter with my husband's favorite verse inscribed into it,

along with some of the buttons from his old work shirts

to create a Wallflower.

Thankfully, Celia's offered her expertise & a few ceramic buttons to my limited skill

and our collaboration creation was born. I am very happy with it.

I've been sorting 3 stuffed gallon sized zipper bags of

buttons for a friend.

It's a bit tedious but fun

to see so many unique buttons.

I had the awesome opportunity to visit the studio of

and enjoy looking through some of her extensive button collection,

hear her stories of obtaining them and see her eyes light us as she

told of creating artistic bouquets from them.

Celia also creates her own ceramic buttons

that she hand stamps, glazes and fires. They are gorgeous.

And for the leaves she uses felted wool.

The bouquets are amazing as decor but she also creates Wedding Bouquets!!

I hope you'll check out her site.
Thanks for the photos Gabrielle Dearman.
