As we spend more time at home arranging and rearranging our collections, we occasionally run into problematic items like the pinback buttons from Edward Gorey's theatrical entertainments. After years of residing in a silver loving cup trophy, my husband chose an appropriately Goreyesque fabric and sewed me a bell pull to display the buttons. It still needs an oversized tassel on the end, but they are out of the trophy on display.
What a cute idea!
