Let's face it. Brown isn't anybody's favorite color. And frankly, the color brown sort of represents one of the grossest things in existence. I'm talking about poop. But let's change the subject to Bakelite and suddenly the color brown takes on a whole new set of qualities. Today I'm posting one of my favorite buttons. It's Bakelite. And it's brown. Notice the golden patina resting in the carved leaves and the brilliant slopes that curve and dive up and down this chocolatey treasure (from the 1930's). Thanks to Bakelite, the color brown is truly rich, glamorous—and bloggable. I rest my case.
