I have a 11/16" pink plastic pearlized button. If that might work, send me
your address and I'll mail it.

Well, top level is 3 of Dear Hubby's shirts that need ironing which I tossed
there after I took the laundry off the line last night.  Below those is a
hot pink blouse, circa 1970, which I am mending for my 95 yr old
mother-in-law.  I've done the rotted seams & all that remains is to either
find a pretty button which coordinates for her missing collar 
button, or replace the whole lot.   The fabric is of one of those 
peculiarly indestructible polyesters that just go on, and on, and on....
But this pink is FAR brighter than the energizer bunny!  It would have much
simpler to just buy a similar blouse, but try explaining that to someone
with intermittent dementias. 

After that, I've promised myself NO new projects until I've finished MY
mending basket!  We've finally moved everything out of the storage unit into
our new house, and all my bits & bobs are in one place at last!  No more
finding that the item I wanted is not in the house!  If I can't fnd
something now, it is my own fault.  <sigh of relief>
