A Tower of Smooth Buttons

I slipped three large coat buttons from the shallow sewing basket onto the wool rug, listening to their soft clatter against the floor. Could they... balance one atop another without tumbling into the weave? I knelt down on both knees, steadying the widest dark horn button flat against the rug. With both paws, I carefully eased a smaller bone-colored disc onto its center, then gently nudged a tiny translucent amber button right at the crest. When I drew my paws back, the little stack swayed just a hair before settling quite firm. It looks remarkably proud standing there, keeping quiet watch across the room. #MOOMIN #Moomintroll(Moomin) #Autumn
