Mounted buttons

I was lucky enough to be invited to the button sale of a collector who was getting rid of some of her more common, crafting buttons; most of them were vintage.
She and her husband took the time (unbelievable!) to put buttons on cards for the sale.
That's a button lover for you, right?
I just knew you'd enjoy seeing the buttons I brought home with me!
I bought some fabric and notions, too...
...but of course the buttons were the most fun to dig through!
How about you?  Any button purchases lately?

Oh.My.Gosh! I can't believe they carded up that many buttons. Yes, that is a button lover, for sure! Wish I was there.

Utterly enchanting!
loved the 'ivory' ones at the top.
My mother used to have a button box --such fun to hunt through as a child.
I now want to knot a cardi for my granddaughter so I can use cool buttons!

those are lovely! I don't live in an area where I can find buttons like that...which might be a good thing, I think I'd become obsessive!

Yes unbelievable all those buttons carded up like that. I have never in my life seen this many buttons in one place. Now here in Alaska I don't even see buttons unless I go to Jo Ann's 75 miles away. I buy a lot of my vintage ones on Etsy. You like the red doll house huh? I made that and if I ever get tired of it will keep you in mind!! Nan
