About this item
My mother, at the tender age of 16 or 17 (during WWII) was a bridesmaid to one of her cousins. I still have the photo of the happy day. These buttons were part of the decoration of her bridesmaid’s dress. We used to have some of the fabric when I was much younger – a dark dusky pink. It’s not what I would have chosen but, in those days, you used what you had! The buttons are pure 1940’s. They look like the kind of hats women wore in those days (I miss hats!). They look like mini flying saucers (another memory of the 40’s!) with a hub in the center and a raised rim around the outside. Taking into consideration the age of these buttons – they are in great condition. They don’t have a molded shank at the back of the button, they have a fabric tag which you sew onto your garment. This will keep these little lovelies flat and stable. There are 5x buttons, each with a diameter of 16mm. I have THOUSANDS of buttons, all sorted and attached to cards, and I will be listing them as often as I can. If you don't find the ones you like this week, please try again next week, or the week after. Of course, if you don't have the time for that, but you know what you are looking for, or even just have an inkling of an idea, contact me with your request and I will search through all the collection for you.

My mother and grandmother both had stashes of buttons, most of which were purchased before I was born (and I remember the ‘Swinging 60’s’!). I used to love to play with the buttons, plunging my tiny hands into the tins and jars of multi-coloured 'gems'. I spent hours sorting them into coloured piles, size relation piles, design piles and any other pile I could think of. Decades later, after I had inherited the tins and jars of historical lovelies, I came up with the 'brilliant' idea of sharing the love with whomever would like to adorn their creations with something a bit different, a bit 'special'.

Hi there, I love the abalone pendant and can't wait to wear it. It will have a dual use as I will a leather string to it or attach it to my bag, so unique that it has to be seen. So thank you for remaking it and the speedy delivery.
