New to the Floozies: Vintage White Buttons

Image
Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Suzanne aka Coloradolady and I too, love buttons. I am so happy to have found this blog and to be a part of it. I love going to estate sales and searching for vintage buttons and notions. And on days when I find lots of wonderful items I am so excited to share them. I hope you find my post interesting and something positive to share. I wanted to show you a few buttons I picked up at an Estate sale over the weekend. I was so excited to find these stashed inside a vintage sewing box. There was a little jar of small white and clear buttons....I think they are so romantic looking. I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day and I hope you have lots of love to come your way. I am excited to be here~

I am so thrilled to be a “Button Floozie” and to have found like-minded folks who are addicted to vintage button collecting. My name is Emily and I am a BUTTON FREAK!!!!! I could spend hours digging through bags, boxes, tins & jars of old buttons. I don’t care if they are covered in dirt ~ they will wash up just fine ~ and sometimes those dingy mud-caked buttons turn out to be “priceless”! When someone tells me their Mom or Auntie or Grandma has a “button box”, I start to salivate. I love to hear stories of how they would cut & save the buttons off of their babies’ sweet dresses or coat buttons off their dear husband’s jackets. All buttons have a story...by participating in this group, I will have a chance to share my button stories. Love, Emily XOXOXOXOXO
