Yes I collect vintage buttons and keys! I get them at thrift stores and tag sales and will sometimes buy a piece of clothing (cheap) for the buttons!! I collect alot of other items, but nothing makes me happier than to rummage through my button collection! Do I sew? NO!! But I hope one day to begin to use these vintage beauties in y other hobby of jewelry making. So Dawn thanks for a great challenge and I wish everyone a safe and happy Memorial day weekend!!!

What a wonderful card to depict your love of buttons and keys! Is Tender Buttons still in business? They had FANTASTIC buttons!! At one time there was a store in Chicago and one in NYC. Even if you didn't buy, just fun to look...like a "museum of buttons".

I also do collect buttons NancyRuth but in my case, I only collect them for stamping - and then I hardly EVER USE them!!! But I cannot walk by the button isle in any store without buying another pkg!! ;) Vintage buttons -that would be a fun collection - especially since most of what I hate about collections is trying to display them! Your card is a lovely depiction of your collection!!~
