That reminds me, I have a shirt my husband put down in my sewing room about a month ago for a button. Ooops. Well sometimes those little things are easy to forget, right? <br />JulieRic Rac and Polka Dotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589881110509261778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268529800904221520.post-7778940210489125672012-08-22T13:40:58.474-07:002012-08-22T13:40:58.474-07:00I have (or should I say HAD) a nice button collect...I have (or should I say HAD) a nice button collection. But when my granddaughters found them, they LOVED playing with them. I wanted them to have good memories of playing with the buttons, so I never told them they couldn't. Well, little by little the button collection has dwindled and now and then I find one under a table or dresser or in their toy box or I hear it being sucked up in the vacuum cleaner...:/ But yes, I do love buttons and I love pearl buttons. I love the history that you gave. Even though I love buttons, I never really thought about where they came from. VERY INTERESTING! I think I'll be a little more careful now with my buttons.<br />Wonderful post!<br />BrendaBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849185151184917466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268529800904221520.post-15486388864563908722012-08-22T06:31:52.105-07:002012-08-22T06:31:52.105-07:00Very interesting information about pearl buttons. ...Very interesting information about pearl buttons. Isn't it a shame that everything has to be made from plastic these days? In the past, people used what was available to them from nature. Now everything is synthetic. You do have a lovely collection. I save any kinda button I come across. Always nice to use them as accents in crafting. Wishing you a wonderful day.

Mine are all in glass jars now in my sewing room which I did a post on awhile back. My favourite are the white, cream and mother of pearl ones. They look lovely all together in one jar. Thanks for sharing a bit of history about them.

I read somewhere on a blog not to store in airtight containers, supposedly it causes them to deteriorate.

I love buttons and have an old round tin I have had for years with various buttons, some old and some new. When my FIL passed away I rescued a bag of buttons from the attic. They were all so dirty I had to wash them before I could even handle them. Unfortunately, I haven't looked at them in years, I should get them out. A few years ago I made simple button necklaces but I purchased the buttons, supposedly mother of pearl, but I don't know.Betty Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17940088470996658852noreply@blogger.com
