BUTTONS
Analise from Sugar Sugar has given us a challenge to ‘show us your buttons’
We were supposed to clean them up BUT no time for that so here are a few.

These Vintage Buttons were given to me by my Aunt and were
sewn onto a little velvet pillow with a gorgeous belt buckle.
These buttons measure one and a half inches

Hi Alison - lovely buttons you have there! Reminds me of when i was a little girl and mum had a whole basket of ones like that which i was fascinated with! Not that i ever did much sewing but i LOVED those buttons, Mel xxx

Alison, i love your buttons, you have quite the collection:)
Hi Alison, great buttons I don't sew at all but I do have lovely little pink teapot buttons that I bought on ebay to go with my teapot fabric that I bought which is still sitting in my linen closet waiting for me to decide what I want my mum to sew for me... My mum also had a tin full of lovely old buttons and we used to get in trouble for playing with them but we loved to sit and just look at all the different ones and ask why have you got these what are you going to do with them??? Mum would just reply "I'll use them one day"... (she hasn't yet)

i wanted to thank you for your kind words from my intimate posting on feelings! i'm not sure why it is so hard for me to share my pain, but i am glad i decided to. the positive support only reinforces that choice. on a lighter note, love the buttons you shared. i'm going to share a couple of my favorites that i've found at flea markets. thanks again,

Hi Alison, like Mel my Mum had a big plastic tuperware container full of buttons, in those days you actually replaced or sewed on missing buttons, not like now I just throw the garment out before I would look for a replacement button let alone actually sewing it on!
Hi Alison! You have a wonderful button collection. I love all the glass ones.

Your buttons are beautiful! I don't have a button collection.....but I do have a pretty bracelet made from old buttons that was a gift from my H. I love it. Sometimes I wonder about the history of each button & where it came from.
Hugs, DebraK

Alison, I think you have such a wonderful collection. I used to just love playing with all my grandma's buttons. I have some of her's and just started adding to the collection. Hugs, Linda

Great buttons Alison, and I always love it when your music comes on.
Hi Alison, sorry I've been so out of touch! My lousey leg and back have realy slowed me down this last month! As for my buttons, well heck if they were so organized I'd faint! great ones you've posted. I love to find them on their original cards. Some older button cards are such a work of art. Later,Lori
ooooooo Alison, I'm such a button lover, and you have some of the best I've seen. Thanks for showing those. xoRachel
Alison, those buttons are lovely. I really like the green velvet pillow with the buttons attached.
