buttons

What a beautiful show; just beautiful. I don't collect buttons on purpose but do seem to have a lots of them. Did you notice the vest the book author was wearing? Polly

That looks like a lot of fun, Roberta. Who would have thought there could be a show/sale just about buttons?!? The vintage ones are wonderful, as are the new ones. I really liked the hand carved wooden ones - such talent. Oh, and I also loved the trees with the 'snakes on them... I've never been to a 'button show' but can tell I'd enjoy it emensely.

Thanks for the link. I love and collect buttons - I have my grandma's, mother and mother-in-laws button tins and I have collected quite a few over the years. My favourites are the beautiful glass buttons. I also collect old wooden cotton reels, empty or not.

DSisIL is a leading light in the British Button Society and has a fantastic collection - mainly antique buttons.

There are some links there - perhaps there is a group near you?
