Don't you just love old buttons! I was lucky enough to find this old tin yesterday at a garage sale. It was hiding away in the bottom of a box. I find it really exciting coming home & checking out what treasures there are, sort of like going through Nana's old buttons.
There were a few interesting ones in the tin, especially the larger one. It measures 6.5 cm & has like a mother of pearl shell inlay. Sort of looks art deco'ish to me. Any ideas?? I'll have to check my button book for this one.
Hope you're having a lovely weekend. It's stopped raining here & has turned out to be a lovely sunny day!
Joolz, I love your buttons, I have one the same as the bottom middle one. Plus some very old ones. My mind goes to who wore it and on what?
