It was like a plastic cellulite smell. I loved her flower shaped buttons, the violets, the animal shapes. I wish someone had saved it. She has been gone a long time and the button box is no more. But I inherited my mothers button box but her's are all La Mode, quality dressmaker buttons. a few metal buttons which she used on jackets but I doubt any are real brass. A few are real mother of pearl. One says Mother of Pearl JHB international Denver Co. And all La Mode and Chic say B. Blumenthal & co. I think I am going to start haunting estate sales and search for old buttons. Thanks for the pointersSparroweyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06234944110874812577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291572309750457012.post-10018600620289486592009-12-16T05:33:01.667-08:002009-12-16T05:33:01.667-08:00Lately i have been looking for diamond cufflinks.I...Lately i have been looking for diamond cufflinks.I was having a blazer and was looking for quality diamond cufflinks.I searched a number of websites.I must appreciate that this post has helped me a lot with a selection on button.The author of this blog has a great knowledege anbout buttons.This is a nice Post regarding.Helps people u know about quality buttons in detail.<br />Good workEngagement ringshttp://www.diamondexotica.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291572309750457012.post-42873665476908285212009-11-06T12:03:49.657-08:002009-11-06T12:03:49.657-08:00SO LOVELY !!!!!

They are small (about the size of a dime) and round and have two straight metal rods in back that push through material on your clothes.

All those people who find it too difficult should give me ALL their buttons! LOL! But it is a fascinating study, too. It is so very human. This research will take you through history and all over the planet. <br />The history of fashion, politics, manufacturing innovations, art movements - and much more. Did these plain, worn bone buttons fasten the "union suit" of a Civil War soldier? Did these lovely realistics brighten the otherwise drab world of a Depression era housewife? Were these gorgeous black glass buttons used on a dress during a period of deep mourning? Hold them in your hands and feel the lives they have touched.<br /> Travel from South America where the native people brought the nuts of the tagua palm upriver to the crazy white people who would buy them! to Alaska where buttons were carved from bones of the whale and the walrus. Travel to China for cinnabar and jade; to Russia for enamels to take your breath away, and back to the USA for shell from the great rivers of the midwest. All over the globe. <br />It shines a light on human endeavor for the last five centuries - give or take, depending upon your "expert". Although buttons themselves are small, they can take you far in your travels of the mind.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917135480865887209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291572309750457012.post-20015828620363568662009-09-27T11:31:07.679-07:002009-09-27T11:31:07.679-07:00The strangest and scariest things I have found in ...The strangest and scariest things I have found in a tin of buttons were fish hooks. I mean come on! One can see how small things like marble, coins and such get put into button boxes - the mind sort of files small things in similar places, but FISH HOOKS? I kept picturing someone combing through the buttons to find a replacement button for a blouse...shudder! Maybe they enjoyed the small thrill of danger. Or maybe the button box was seeded with fish hooks by someone who didn't like the seamstress much...Very Stephen King, in a button sort of way.<br />The creepiest things I have found in a bunch o' buttons are pills. Who missed their medication? Or hid it?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917135480865887209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291572309750457012.post-74485787750543484842009-09-20T22:32:30.249-07:002009-09-20T22:32:30.249-07:00Ooh, button jewelry sounds cool.

Then one day my sister saw them and said, "you know people collect those things.", and I thought, "you're kidding?" Suddenly my little obsession became a bigger obsession. Research in books, on the internet, and talking with other button lovers. Constantly waving some button or other in the face of my long-suffering husband and saying, "Do you KNOW what this IS? It's a china IGLOO! and I found it!!" The excitement of discovery. The history, craftsmanship, the beauty of these little treasures.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917135480865887209noreply@blogger.com
