I love your collections! I have a bit of a vintage button collection too, my sister-, aunt-, and mother-in-law all send me amazing vintage buttons and one of my favourite stages of completing a project is getting out the button jar and choosing the right button(s) for the piece!

oh my! these are just wonderful! I completely understand what you mean about how they are extra special because someone else you love collected them- my husband’s grandmother gave me her button collection and it’s such a treat to comb through.

What a lovely combination…buttons and laces! I had to wonder if some of those metallic buttons (in the grouping where one said « Rex ») are historic or even reproductions? In the first photo of the lace, that has the bottom lace of the ivy is so unusual. How fun!Laurie…visiting from the blog tour

I can understand your point of view very well, as long as I am -and have always been- « collection-minded » too…;-)My japanese treasures are some of the most important to me, along with some stamps collected with my grand-father when I was a child.I also collected many « things » of little interest in my childhood and now, I am so happy to find again those « treasures » with my daughter, or with friends searching for memories from the Eighties.Your buttons are very nice, and the lace collection, so delicate !Thank you for sharing your treasures (and thank you for the occasion to exercise my English ! LOL).
