Vintage Button Collectors?

[Victoriana Lady]

Any one out there collect vintage buttons?

I just posted about my Grandmother's button collection
in the group Victorian & Edwardian Fashions.
You can see a Button String of bone, shell, and
Mother of Pearl, among others.

Here is a photo of some of her funky vintage buttons
that I strung. They look like colorful candy.

Hi Victorian Lady -
I have a collection of buttons as well. I have made a necklace from a Victorian Button and a bakelite buckle. My workshop has a collection of thousands of buttons and beads. My latest craft is bending silverplate odd or orphaned forks into plate stands or business card holders. These are adorned with vintage buttons. (see photo) Thanks for inviting me to be your friend!

Thanks for sharing the photos with us!
You're welcome for the friend invitation. :)

absolutely lovely idea. I have made the fork stands butt never with the buttons. I adore the one you have the sepia photo on!

Lovely Buttons!!!!!!! At Footbridge Cove we sell Button Collections. Have had some buyers with interesting professions...a furrier from Australia who makes inside out hide vests and jackets adorned within buttons! We always try to have some listed, not sure if we do at the moment but one of my favorites family traditions is stringing colorful vintage buttons on heavy twine and using as garland on our Christmas Tree! I'll attach photo if I can remember where to find it.
