Then I was looking for a third topper and spotted one of my buttons cabinets and had to admire them for a while . Sounds crazy but I am sure any other button collector knows what I am talking about .
This is a candy jar I have on my dresser, full of wonderful rhinestone buttons.
Some of the buttons I cut off of vintage clothing, before I appreciated the vintage clothing
I have all these in this candy jar
Then here is picture of one of the cabinets I have full of bakelite buttons and glass buttons
Glass ones in a drawer
Read this that Kathy Kluless has posted on her blog , about a little bitty Post Office LOL
I know all you Button Floozies and collectors can relate to this post of my love of buttons LOL

Love, love, LOVE buttons! Love YOUR buttons - have a wonderful Tuesday - thanks again for selling the darling pattern...can't wait! Tanya
ReplyDeleteGood Evening to you, My word, I gasped when I saw all your beautiful vintage buttons. Nowadays, blouses, dresses and coats do not have such beautiful buttons.
ReplyDeleteYes, I fully understand why you stopped and looked at your collection. You pick up one button, then see another and another and another and so it goes on.I know I would do the same.
Have a lovely day.
Best wishes
Daphne

ReplyDeleteYou're a button pirate, aren't you? :) This looks like you unearthed it from a treasure chest. Makes a girl want to scoop it up in her hands and watch it all sift through her fingers like gold coins. It's only fitting you store this eye candy in the candy jar. What a collection!
