I’m not really a “collector” and know nothing about buttons, but I pick up cheap mixed bags when I find them. Mostly to use for my knitting projects but also just because it’s fun to go through and match up pairs or sets.
I got these for 100nok (~10usd) today. My favourites have to be the apricot brains and the little blue heart with flowers :)
Found while out in a charity box, spotted a few nice button in a sewing box ☺️ would like to know more about them as they seem vintage ☺️
This is a “one-off” button I found in a batch of assorted buttons purchased at an antique store. The design is perfect for a shirt I’m currently sewing, but I have just not been able to find anything close on Benno’s Buttons, Etsy or E-Bay. This one is about 25mm/1 inch which is just a tad too large, but it is that particular design I’m looking for. Any ideas?
Someone went through they're nan's loft and sold the whole lot. There's glass mourning buttons, bakelite, wood, metal, mother of pearl, leather, and plastic in all shapes and sizes. And this is the half I kept. The rest is going to the charity shop. Now i need to find some coat patterns. Any suggestions?
Hey! Found this on pinterest but I can't tell if it's ai or just incredibly rare because no one sells it anywhere, even on reseller websites. Any help or insight is appericated!
I don’t know what people want in the button world. I have ended up with generations of the dead relative collection. They are fun, but so many. What do,people need for,their collections?
