Last night I watched Suicide Club (or Suicide Circle) a Japanese horror film about well....I can't be certain. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the movie, but as many Asian horror films it tended to wander here and there. It is interesting (and not by coincidence) that it was made at a time when suicides in Japan were at an all time high. From what I read about it the director Sion Sono made it after a friend of his committed suicide. So if you are looking for an uplifting movie to watch I would avoid watching this. Also, not a good first date movie.
**Film still from Suicide Club. This is right before things get really messy**
In other news, I have been spending the day cleaning and organizing and realizing that I have a real problem with collecting buttons. Like I may need an intervention. Seriously. Strangely my father also really likes collecting buttons so perhaps this condition is hereditary. To ease my burden I am going to give away some of my buttons to one of you lucky readers. I have loads of super old vintage buttons and if you leave a little comment here I will choose someone at random and send you some. Sound nice?
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Stay warm.

how do you 'catalogue' your collection? i have used mason jars, and some spice jars and even a cookie tin...

I love buttons! Whenever I feel that something is not sufficiently cozy, I sew a button to it. Instant cozitude.
