Vintage Metal Buttons: Brass, Silver and Gold

I was searching through one of  my old button tins and found myself picking out some interesting vintage metal buttons. These brass buttons are threaded together with old string strung through the shank. Embossed on them in french is "Canal de Vieux" which means old canal. I can imagine them on a navy blue blazer!

Here's a beautiful silver button with lots of flowery detail. This one would be pretty on a flouncy white blouse.

A gold dragon embellishes this oriental themed button perfect for a silk jacket.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Button Collecting!

My New Old Vintage Buttons

I was having a scavenger hunt in my mom's craft closet yesterday and discovered more vintage buttons! I've picked some of my favorites to share with you other button lovers.

Red and green makes for a pleasing contrast among these buttons.

These elegant white buttons are so pretty. The faux marble one is interesting.



The prettiest is this shank button with the ornate flowers.



For a burst of color, I love these round chubby buttons.




I can't resist these very shiny and very blue vintage buttons.

Last but not least, this 1950's button is unusual.

For those of you who appreciate the beauty of the design and color of vintage buttons, happy button hunting!
