Button Floozies

As I looking in some of my buttons drawers  I noticed I had these heavy metal and  turquoise chip, meaning heavy not like a light weight bakelite button. I'm sure they were made in a special way I also didn't realize I had these pretty little buttons                                                                          I had these larger starburst for lack of correct name for these metal buttons. It still makes me happy to play in my button drawers , what about you?

Here's a peak at some of the lovelies I have found this Spring More to peak at here at Vintage Connections .  Hope you are finding some treasures too!

For the first time I attended the Missouri Button Club show at Lake of The Ozarks in Missouri. I really enjoyed seeing all the different priced buttons. From one dollar for the mother of pearl buttons up to $495 button for one of a kind ceramic button of maybe Marie Antoinette face on it or a King or Lord ? or some past Queen. Of course the $495 dollar buttons were on cards not in a pole box. It was so entertaining to dig through all the poke boxes from $1 up to $10 a button.I found everything I liked in the $3 poke box. I had never noticed this kind of button before,they really caught my eye                                                                 They are like a knot I found them so interesting  I love how they are twisted   I just love the designs  One of the ladies that w...

I put together a collection of birds in nests (including a button nest) I've embroidered and I realized it had been ages since I did something fun like a giveaway...so I'm combining nests and giveaway... Check out the nests on my blog and leave a comment and I will pick a name Sunday and the winner will receive a hand painted antique MOP button... painted by me of course. http://olderrose.blogspot.com/…/05/best-of-nests-giveaway.h…

I have been trying to get my studio organized so I wouldn't be embarrassed if someone wanted to take a peek at my play area. Seems I get distracted playing and organizing my buttons instead                                                            I probably shouldn't be embarrassed? should I we have all seen messes of good stuff in our lives of collecting and playing with vintage items Honestly I had some other pictures I wanted to show however I can't find the pictures because I downloaded them into Picsa  and really can't find them I don't like that program at all.  It's the only one my iphone will download to then the pictures disappear in my compute? maybe you can help give me an idea what i,m doing 

I wanted to share an abalone  shell I decorated to hold some of my Mother Of Pearl buttons. I also love rhinestones and this worked out great for a fancy bowl to hold some buttons. I used E600 glue and an old rhinestone belt.                                                                       before I decorated her

A friend of mine had a large amount of vintage  buttons given to her and after she picked out the ones she wanted she gave me these. I sorted them yesterday in the jars or assorted colors  I have in the studio. I mostly like the white and mother of pearl buttons                                                              These buttons are very light weight, not plastic, I don't know what they are?  It's the perfect day to play with buttons since it is cloudy and raining
