Show us your vintage buttons

[Kimberly]

I know there are quite a few ladies here who collect buttons. I have a small collection and sometimes I just like to stare at them and picture what I could put them on. Anyhow, I need one of them for a dress so I took some out and photographed some of my favorites. Do any of you have any buttons worthy of a picture? If so please share as I love to oogle them. Also any ideas or projects you have done with buttons would be greatly apprecated as I have so many now, I need to get creative with them.

Here are two pics of mine.

Closeup of my favorites. The glass ones are so dreamy and I wish I had more than two.

Kimberly and Lady Day, your buttons are fabulous.

I can't create a garment to save my life, but I love when seamstresses add that extra special touch with neato buttons!

LD, I love those buttons!! I actually have a couple of stray buttons that look like the ones you have that reminded me of belt buckles. In fact, that's what I thought they were. I love the packaging on the first set and am so jealous of your red ones. I have a hard time finding cute red buttons.
