I do! And they just don't make them like they used to. I can spend hours looking at the intricate shapes and designs of vintage buttons. Thankfully, there seems to be an unlimited supply of them. All you have to do is visit a few street fairs and stoop sales, as we call them in New York, and you will find them. Metal, plastic, resin, wood, gold, silver, rhinestony... is that a word? Not likely, but it makes the point. Vintage buttons are one of my favorite embellishments because they are beautiful, eco-friendly and functional. What did we do before all those new-fangled zippers and velcro? We buttoned things up to make them stay on. Buttons have survived the test of time and the onslaught of technology. They still remain fashionable, fun and absolutely useful! Crafty tip: update a tired blouse by replacing boring buttons with a set of snazzy vintage buttons and you'll have a brand new looking garment!Pictured above: The New Friendship Bracelet in Mint Green & the Mellow Yellow Flower Organic Ribbon Flower Pin.
