Old buttons from St. Augustine

We just returned from a vacation in Florida, where I spotted some historical old buttons from an archaeological dig, ca. 1500, on display. To read more about the trip and see some pretty photos of beaches, you're welcome to come and visit me at Indulge Your Shelf!

Buttons in the Victoria & Albert

When I wrote my last post for you, on Diana Epstein , I was searching for links to historical collections of buttons.  I found this one and thought it deserved a post of its very own. So here it is.  Basically I have put in the word 'buttons' in the search of the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.   This is the result. What lovely things appeared before my eyes. I haven't added the photos here. One because I do not have permission, and two because I think it will be fun for you to follow the link. So have you done an online search of a local or national museum? I think it would be good to try. Alix. Bigbluebed .
