At a recent antique show I was captivated by all these buttons. I love how the vendor displayed them on the colorful cards. It gives them a vintage feel from the 1940's perhaps?
A few patriotic buttons lots of red, white and blue.
To me these turquoise buttons remind me of the 1960's, my grandmother had cards and cards of these type of buttons.
So many pretty buttons waiting for a new project or outfit….
A special thanks to Honey at 2805 of featuring our Fairy Garden post form last week!!!!
P.S. Not so perfect…I'm having a problem with my posts not showing up on the Blogger Reading list. If any one has suggestions for a fix or know where I can go for help, I'd really appreciate it. This is the third post that has not appeared on the reading list.

Cute as a button, lol. I found you over at Cowgirl Up :)
these are so cool--it reminds me, how my daughter has a necklace made from buttons, she hasn't worn it in a while--i will have to tell her to get it out again!
I love all the buttons! Thanks for sharing.

The way these buttons are displayed really makes the color and shape pop rather just digging through piles! Thanks for sharing!

I have boxes of buttons, cards of buttons, tins of buttons, jars of button, but I always have room for a few more! For sure, I enjoyed this post!
I'm a button lover from waaaay back, these are fabulous. Presentation is everything, and these are displayed so well. Thanks for sharing them. I sure wish I had an answer for you about your blog problem, I know how frustrating it can be.
How fantastic! I love them. So pretty and colorful. Than you for sharing. Visiting from Romantic Home. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2012/08/make-it-pretty-monday-week-9.html Hope to see you at the bash!

I wonder if you fixed the problem as suddenly three or more of your posts showed up on my reading list. Love all these buttons! Imagine the time to fix a button on each of those little pieces of paper!
The presentation of those buttons is magnificent. I'm so glad you shared this. It just shows what a difference presentation can make.
Great to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.

Cute buttons. That dealer went to a lot of trouble to display those buttons, but it certainly made a nice presentation.
Got to LOVE "The Buttons!" My mother had a small treasure box looking wooden box that we called The Button Box. If you needed a button, it was in there. During "The Depression," she said that is how they made an old dress look new...change the buttons! This post from Tuesday just showed up on Saturday. Hope you found the problem.
Love all the colors! Aren't textures fun to photograph, sometimes? :)

What beautiful photos! Fun and colorful buttons -- and thank you for coming by buttonfloozies!
Must have been fun to see all tthese really great buttons in person. That's a unique display with the buttons on the cut paper, and it invokes a bakelite feel.
