I love rummaging through button boxes/tins, don't you? Here's mine:
I was looking for autumn colours, and this is what I wanted to embellish:
Plain and boring isn't it?
I want to wear it with this skirt:
I'm almost ready for autumn:
(I was examining a stitched on jewel when my son took this photo, and in the end, we preferred it to the ones where I am squinting into the sun)

This is beautiful, you have lovely buttons too. I used to love rummaging through my grandmother's button box although Im not sure what happened to it.

I played with the buttons in my Mum's tin and the best memory was of a carved (soap) chess pawn which my Dad made. I don't know why it was (and probably still is) in her button tin. Great memory.
I love the way you embellish your clothes... so personal and 'just right'.... tfs
