I've been going through my stash of extra-special buttons and brooches that I've saved throughout the year. I will use some of the best goodies on our Glam For Good collection for our November 7th party.
In looking through the notions, I found this little bird button that is so sweet and pretty. I think she'll look lovely atop a silk wristlet.

One thing I enjoy about collecting vintage buttons is the interesting graphic design that is encapsulated on old packaging.
I love the simplicity of this coated white card with aqua text that is half-way between script and individual letters, as though it is handwriting tossed off by a hip '60s designer.
Also, I wonder who bought these cherry red buttons back in the day, and what did she do with the one missing button?

I've been working on some new microsuede blossoms and topped off this espresso and ivory number with a little rose pink vintage button.
This button reminds me of an outfit Betty Draper might wear to a chic Manhattan restaurant.
(I'm posting this picture a little early because Ashley and I will be walking the Seattle Gift Show tomorrow searching for new goods to offer this fall.)
I can't show you the clutch that features this button as the gift has yet to be given to the lucky bridesmaid.
I couldn't resist showing you the beautiful button and a glimpse of the fabrics.
Once upon a time, thrifty people kept even the most humble buttons. As blouses, jackets and dresses wore out, women trimmed off the fasteners and saved them in jars, drawers, and cookie tins.
Here's a mishmash of pretty plastic buttons that I bought at an antique mall recently. Someone stitched each button onto a piece of cardboard with waxed twine, saving the little treasures for rainy days.
How I wish I could know what garments the buttons adorned, who wore the clothes, and where the outfits traveled.
The graphic design on this package is just as interesting as the golden buttons.
