Some days ago, I met a nice lady having the same addiction as me: collecting buttons!!!
I can cherish those little treasures like a child, I like the colors, textures, patterns and forms.
She had a stunning collection: horn, wooden , lucite, plastic, fabric, bakelite....all vintage!!!
She sells them (together with gorgeous fabrics) at the Flee market in Ghent and Brussels.
I found some beauties that I will use as closures for my Silk Diva necklaces, but I had also the idea to make big, bold rings with them!!
If you can't resist vintage buttons too, then go to the blog of another lovely lady, who is also a button addict (and makes stunning jewelry with it), in her blog she tells a lot about the origin of some beautiful buttons.)

Wonderful buttons!

Hoi! Vrijdag al eens een reactie gepost maar die is blijkbaar niet doorgekomen.
Zeker bij Annemie gaan shoppen! De knopen zijn wondermooi, juweeltjes op zich. In je ringen komen ze volledig tot hun recht.
Ik kom ze, je andere werk en jouzelf ;-) bewonderen op de Bazar hoor!
wow ! What can I say; they are lovely. My personal favourite is the fabric one in the top row in the first picture. I must go and have a look in my own buttons because I am pretty sure I have something similar as that one. And thanks for the link to my blog; I suddenly found so many Belgians were visiting it...
