So, you've picked your yarn color for Bombay Sapphire! Now it's time to think about the buttons for it -- and, as promised, I'm here to help. I do have more buttons than I'll ever use up in a lifetime and they're easy to ship off in an envelope, so this'll be fun and easy, right?
There are a lot of them, so I have split these up into color sets for you guys, and will post each separately over the next week or two. I'll have two more sets: Greens/Blues/Whites and Pinks/Purples/Reds.
So, take a look at these guys - A and B are bright yellow. C is a little paler. D is a peach, and E is bright orange. You may recognize B from my sweater, or D from my original button post. F is gold with detail, and G is a pearly thing with a gold edge.
One more view. (Ignore those purples!)
And, here's a good closeup of F and G. (Ignore that silver guy for now, too!)
Alright, if you think any of these buttons might look lovely on your sweater, feel free to enter the contest! You can enter for more than one set of buttons if you like, but each person can only win once. I'll randomly pick winners after the weekend.
---------------------------------
Just comment below with the colorway you are using and what button set you'd like to use with it! It does not matter if it's not a Plucky colorway - you can tell me the color of any yarn that you happen to be using.
And if you'd rather hold out and see what else I have to offer in the other color families, check back next week!

Plus a cocktail. After all, it's a holiday weekend. So, to go with the yellows and oranges, I thought I'd also give you a recipe for a Beer Cocktail, which falls into the correct color family. (I promise no blue or green drinks for those buttons)
This one is called a Frank Booth, and it's better than I thought it would be!
One can/bottle of light American Lager (PBR, Bud, Miller)
2 oz whiskey
1 oz fresh lime juice
lime slices and ice cubes
Put whiskey and lime juice in jigger and shake well with ice cubes.
Strain the mixture into two glasses and top each with half the beer.
Garnish each with the lime slices
Serve and drink while it's still cold!
