Button Finds

Today my cousin from St Louis Missouri came here to have lunch with me so after we set at the restaurant for 2 hours and talked, and after we went through old pictures  reminiscing of our Aunts and Uncles when we use to get together as kids 5-9 years old ,we decided to go shopping and of course I suggested we go  vintage shopping . We both have enough clothes and a girl can never have enough old stuff.

We have just seen each other 3 times since 1959

Marilou bought several books for a granddaughter and some pretty smelling soaps for her.We shopped the Market Place In Columbia Missouri

Anyway I had resisted several items that was gorgeous and out of my price range today , so as we were leaving a gal was putting things in her space and she had a huge bowl of vintage buttons and had them priced as buttons of France this lady does shop France and bring items back,well I had to touch all of them and look them over so came home with a few

mother of pearl inlay button first one of these I have in my collection
                                                             
               

Love these glass  with the rhinestones and the back looks like maybe they slide on a cloth belt? size of a quarter

                                                                   



no I can see the little o ring to sew through now
                                                                     

2 little glass buttons and 2 blue plastic 


PS It has rained cats and dogs here today

    Good Morning Janice, My word, you have found some very beautiful buttons. I remember as a little girl, Ivy, my grandmother, used to wear blouses with the most beautiful buttons, most often they would be small pearl buttons. I am just like you, when something is lovely, I just have to touch it.
    When my girls were little, I had boxes of buttons and it was the one thing they loved playing with, they had hours of fun with them.
    Enjoy your day,
    Best Wishes

    We are getting LOTS of rain lately, too, as you might have seen on the news. Sheesh. I love your button hunt finds! And I'm so happy you got to see your cousin and reminisce!
