Button Vest
Hi I am Shirlee Fassell a new but really old Button Floozy!!
My attraction to buttons began years ago when I played in the button draw of the sewing machine. I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame. When we first started serious antiquing 20 years or so ago I used to buy a lot of buttons. Sewing the buttons to this vest was my justification for some of that collection.
A friend I used to work with gave me a jar of her mothers buttons when she passed. The little bull dogs run around the bottom of the vest.
As you can see I couldn't resist the rhinestone pins .... and other pins ... I came across!!
The 4 leaf clover pin is from my mothers jewelry box.
The button nestled below the gold pin with the S on it is a perfume button (I think) the background is velvet.
