Button jewellery for a lighter footprint!!

So glad this necklace found its way to the lovely inspiration that is Angela! Angela is the acclaimed author of A Lighter Footprint which contains hundreds of simple, practical, day-to-day suggestions that will help you to reduce your footprint. www.lighterfootprint.com.au

If that isn't inspiring enough she has released another book
Ethical Eating which explores the ethical and environmental implications of the food choices we make, looking at the issues from a uniquely Australian perspective.

Both these books are SOOOOOOOOO worth a read.
So it's only befitting that someone who truly understands the need to re-use the abundance of stuff we already have now has a preloved button collection round her neck for the young adorable miss Verity to gaze at and ponder.

This necklace is also a piece of the history that inspired the range - the little flower button was my grandmothers. An original from her collection. I have always wondered what garment this originally came from.

Oh and the inspiration in this photo is completed by the colourful painting in the background is none other than a Anthony Breslin original!!
