I've been but...Beautiful & so interesting! I've been button addicted all of my life. My mom used to take me to the fabric store to pick out fabrics for my school clothes that she made every year. I would stand mooning for hours in front of all of the buttons. When it was finally time for me to go pick the notions she would give me a list and at buttons would say: "6 pink - the cheapest ones they have." BUMMER! We laugh about it now.<br /><br />When I learned to sew myself, I spent more on buttons than I did on fabric. I always justify it because buttons are like jewelry permanently attached to your wardrobe - and so worth the investment! My mom finally came around to my way of thinking on this subject too.<br /><br />When we started travelling so much, and picking through antique stores in all of the places we visited, I scour for old buttons - glass ones, especially! They're so unique in their weight and glimmer. And the fact that they endure the way they have, so many of them pre-dating the Roaring 20's.<br /><br />Laurie, when you're in Virginia this summer, if you have a chance to go antiquing - I remember finding many glass & also metal military buttons traveling throughout that state.Angela Catirinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03899846452662607806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916839371504934589.post-51343049250361383592010-07-21T10:45:18.688-06:002010-07-21T10:45:18.688-06:00Really interesting info, Laurie!

I could spend hours and hours stringing buttons! I have some collections as well but they have taken a back seat to my blogging time in the last two years. One of these days I'll get back to sharing. At any rate, thanks so much for sharing this info!Coralie Cederna Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396599065245860045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916839371504934589.post-86778043754884455402010-07-21T09:57:20.179-06:002010-07-21T09:57:20.179-06:00Thank you for the info!
