A week or so ago I went to one of my favorite fabric shops.
Just around the corner is an antique shop where I like to buy vintage buttons.
These, though not in spectacular shape, I like them just the same.
The one of the young man is celluloid I believe, and well worn, but I couldn't pass him up. He looks so old, and French.
Does anyone know anything about these kinds of buttons?

I also got these tri bar slides.
Vintage Mother of pearl (?)
and buttons still on their cards.
I would love to try and sell a few buttons in my etsy shop along with my other things, but I know supplies is a big category already...
We'll see... if there's any interest...
I have a lot of new plans and ideas!
Off to get things done-take care : )

It's my really weak spot - buttons and buckles. I have a huge collection of brooches too and I love wearing them! Thanks for a great post and Happy New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR dear Andrea! Hope it will be a sparkling, fun kind of year - as lovely as these buttons! Cheers to you!
I love cameos too! I have some earrings I got when I was 11 years old.
I also have a supply stash of cameos to make into something (Compliments of my sister). Perhaps this year I will make some jewelry.
Love the vintage belt "buckles" too.
Have a wonderful day!

I recently got some vintage slides just like these at my local antique shop. I've incorporated a couple into some new cuffs, if I could ever find the time to finish them!
