Button Floozies

I found a coffee tin with a mass of all kinds of buttons. I pulled a few favorites out.  Here they are... Thanks for looking, and please comment.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Button Floozies!

Here are four vintage buttons from my button collection. These were in with 100's of other buttons, in a large button tin. Check them out....   A fabric covered button with a printed giraffe   1 molded plastic red button,  1 fabric covered red giraffe button,  1 metal sculpted button, 1 glass etched floral button A metal sculpted button

Just wanted to share some of my vintage buttons I've been adding to some fabric cuffs recently. Most of these were given to me from various family and friends who know I love buttons-vintage especially! a sparkly rhinestone button plastic and glass metal buttons I'm not sure how old these are.Any ideas? I'm using them both as 'closures', and as decorations : ) the top one will be added to my shop soon, and the bottom one has been sold already (thank you : ) ~ you can read more about them on my blog.

I think these qualify for a post here, even though they are not technically buttons. At least not the kind you can pick up and turn over. But they were indeed buttons at one time, so they should be okay here. These are pictures of buttons from a magazine of the past. I do not know which one. I started to dabble in decoupage and these were donated to me by my mother, a paper artist of some renown. She was so excited that I was attempting decoupage, and knowing I like buttons, she found these in one of her millions of files and handed them over. I really wish I knew more about them and I surely wish I could see them in person. Enlarged all of these, as the print is hard to read. I saved my favorites for last.   Don't you just love that...Smuggler's Button?! And wouldn't you love to own one? Here is a link to a real one: Smuggler's Button
