Sat down for 3 hours the other day and sorted buttons out of a large tin. Now to figure out what I have. I even have a button book but it is so hard. This thread helps.

I unpacked the last of my things, and I cleaned my shadow boxes. I went through all my buttons (mmm fun!) and got some of my older and more collectable button cards.
My 20s/30s box
My Pilchers box.
My 40s box.
Makes me wish I have more shadow boxes.

I absolutely love this thread!!
I wish i had my buttom boxes here ( i left them at my man´s in Holland)
They are from my grandmother, she is very fond of sewing and knitting and for years has been putting them in ********* bags.
When i left UK, i declutted her house and brought all the bags with me, i have sorted some of them out but they are too many.
Now they are resting by colors in few large cookies tins mixed with necklaced beads.
On top, i also have been buying myself some more from Etsy.
I often joke that i have a buttoms supply for life!!
You can really say I love buttons toolol

Google search for 'self covered buttons' or 'self covers shank buttons'
I know the company Dritz makes them.

I'm pretty sure they don't exist any more I have been to all the best notion shops in the city and spent the majority of my work day scouring google, ebay, etsy, anything I could think of. I think I am going to have to rip out the other 9 buttons and replace all of them because I can't match 1. So annoying!

Alas, tiny covered buttons seem to be hard to find. Especially if you need a particular shape.
Six***six, have you tried looking for buttons with the inch measurement, instead of the size? Especially on Ebay/Etsy, people might not bother to list the size when the inch measurement is right there.

Todays theme: Hook and eye cards from the 20s/30s
Ive always LOVED the graphics on hook and eye and snap fastener cards. Here are some I just got around to photographing.
