Daily One Inch Button Rerun - Mr. Rogers

Today's button is a repeat thanks to my Sony laptop's graphic card spontaneously combusting. Thankfully, nobody was hurt.

When I was growing up, every day was a beautiful day in the neighborhood because I got to see Mr. Rogers. He would bring us into his home and show us all kinds of things that we may have never seen before. He was also great because he told us that we all have something special about us and that we shouldn't forget that. It made me so sad when I found out that he passed away, and watching this video made me cry just a bit.

I hope that when I have children some day, episodes of his show will be available on DVD or whatever we'll be using then (super-new-ray) to watch recorded material.

Daily One Inch Button - Rerun - General Tso

Please Note: We are running a rerun due to the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. The text is a bit different from the original because I live in NY now.

When I was a kid I used to eat General Tso's chicken whenever I would go to Chinese restaurants. I switched to tofu for awhile but now that I live in NY I take every opportunity to enjoy some great General Tso when I go out for Chinese food. (In China they just call it "food." Mmm. Who was General Tso? A chicken, apparently.

Daily One Inch Button Rerun - Eastenders Bradley Branning

Unfortunately, reruns will have to continue for awhile until we settle into our new office on the East Coast.

Who could possibly forget the day that dear Bradley came to Walford? From the very beginning he has had some interesting things happen to him right up until he had his reunion with his long absent father. Who would have known that his father would end up being the man his wife would choose to sleep with and fool around with after a pretty nasty row? And did Stacey really have to kiss his father so soon before the wedding? We can only hope things go better for Bradley and Stacey.

Daily One Inch Button Rerun - Vampire Bear Sawing Wood

Unfortunately, reruns will have to continue for awhile until we settle into our new office on the East Coast.

What is that handsome little bear up to now? He seems to be sawing a large log. Why would little Vampire Bear feel the need to saw a log? Is he living on a farm now, or is the farm just a vacation home? It's all about his awesome project to teach people how to read the Hebrew langauge - at his web site, ask vampire bear. There you can see all of the cool lessons in reading the Hebrew language.

Daily One Inch Button Rerun - Stacey Slater

Unfortunately, reruns will have to continue for awhile until we settle into our new office on the East Coast.

Love her or hate her, Stacey is an incredible woman. People rooted for her and Bradley to make it and they did - and then of course it had to come out that she was sleeping with his father. Some people might say, "Can you blame him?" I say yes, I can blame him. That was just wrong.

Daily One Inch Button Rerun - Ian Beale

Unfortunately, reruns will have to continue for awhile until we settle into our new office on the East Coast.

Twenty-three years - that's how long our man Ian Beale has been on EastEnders. By that, of course, it means that he has been on the show since the very first episode. From troubled teen to somewhat troubled adult, Ian has seen it all in Walford. Other Beale buttons are in the works, rest assured. The 25th anniversary button will be awesome. :)

Daily One Inch Button Rerun - EastEnders Phil Mitchell

Unfortunately, reruns will have to continue for awhile until we settle into our new office on the East Coast.

Thought not quite as popular in the United States as it is in Great Britain for numerous reasons - the main one being that the show isn't broadcast in the US - plenty of people have a similar love / hate relationship with the Phil Mitchell. He seems to change love interests more often than the average person changes socks. He gives as well as he gets - well, he usually gives a lot better. Rock on, Phil!

Daily One Inch Button Rerun: Raw Pink Sushi

Let's take a trip to a sushi restaurant, shall we? You're sitting in front of the conveyor belt, plate ready to receive your delicious sushi. You're not quite sure what you want to eat today but that's okay, because the conveyor belt has a plethora of goodies from which you can make your decision. All of a sudden, you see it: the raw pink shrimp sushi. It's almost as if it's just beaming up at you, wanting you to just snatch it up. All of a sudden, you see someone a little further down from you who looks like he may take it. You sneak a marble out of your pocket and throw it down on the floor where it makes a loud clatter, and by the time your competitor is done realizing what made the sound you already have the raw pink shrimp sushi on your plate. Good going, sneaky sushi loving warrior.

Daily One Inch Button Rerun - Old TV

Note: For the rest of the month of August, we are going to run classic buttons every weekday except for Thursdays. We are working on a new website that will allow you to see all of the buttons at once on a nice looking page. Whee!

Oh, televisions. In ye old merry times, we would watch things like the moon walk and President Nixon admitting that he was not, in fact, a crook. Okay, so I wasn't alive for either of those monumental events but many people watched them on old televisions like this adorable one here.

Daily One Inch Button Rerun - Lucky Owl

Note: For the rest of the month of August, we are going to run classic buttons every weekday except for Thursdays. We are working on a new website that will allow you to see all of the buttons at once on a nice looking page. Whee!

There is no price you can put on good health. If there were, and this owl really were able to bring you good health, then that price would be exactly one dollar. I don't know about you but that seems like a pretty good deal to me. It doesn't hurt that this is a pretty nice looking owl. Out of all of the buttons we sell at I Heart Rummage and Crafty Wonderland, this is the one that people continue to look at, admire, and purchase every single time without hesitation. Maybe we should have taken some photos of our happy customers so you could see how much they just love the owl button.

Daily One Inch Button Rerun - Maneki Neko - Beckoning Cat

Note: For the rest of the month of August, we are going to run classic buttons every weekday except for Thursdays. We are working on a new website that will allow you to see all of the buttons at once on a nice looking page. Whee!

According to some very interesting sites I have scrutinized, over sixty percent of Maneki Nekos have their left paw raised - the others have their right paw raised. Why does our maneki neko have its right paw raised? Why, indeed, is the cat's paw raised so high?

The reason he is raising his right paw is because by doing so, he attracts money and good fortune - who isn't into that? The height is all about distance - the higher the paw, the greater of a distance his magic will go; if, of course, you do believe in the powers of the maneki neko, that is.

Note: For the rest of the month of August, we are going to run classic buttons every weekday except for Thursdays. We are working on a new website that will allow you to see all of the buttons at once on a nice looking page. Whee!

Many men (and women) were and currently are able to walk with this device, which did not necessarily mean that they were or are even now walk men and walk women. I personally was super jealous when my friends got newer models than me with all kinds of fancy functions whereas mine seemed to be older and came from sales of the garage variety. I was actually looking for one earlier today - it has a special function that allows it to record via an internal or external microphone. That's a special kind of tape deck.

Daily One Inch Button Rerun - Charles Bronson

Note: For the rest of the month of August, we are going to run classic buttons every weekday except for Thursdays. We are working on a new website that will allow you to see all of the buttons at once on a nice looking page. Whee!

He came from the most humble of backgrounds - he was one of many children, a father from Lithuania and a family that was so destitute that they struggled just to get by. Charles Bronson, it is said, went to Hollywood not because acting seemed glamorous but because he thought it could pay the bills.

Charles changed his given surname to Bronson to appear more American - important in those times of very strict anti-Communist thought. He went from being pretty well known around Europe to starring in the Death Wish series of movies, inspiring people to take up arms and fight their own vigilante battles. He was a great man, and he shall be missed. Wear him on your coat with pride.

Note: For the rest of the month of August, we are going to run classic buttons every weekday except for Thursdays. We are working on a new website that will allow you to see all of the buttons at once on a nice looking page. Whee!

Aw, look - he's so happy to see you. You're probably thrilled to see him too after a long day of working hard at the coal mines or the cubicle. Sometimes it's great even just to put your feet in the tub - hot water + soap = good loving feeling.
