Sorry, I really don't like complicated rules for these memes, so I have tried to simplify this down to the minimum. Don't be shy, we have fun every week. Join us if you can.
This week, I have a jar of vintage buttons. I purchased this jar of vintage buttons about 20 years ago at a small local antique store located close to my home. I love old buttons, and have several different collections of buttons. This one is most likely the first little jar of vintage buttons I purchased back so many years ago.
I loved the old refrigerator jar that the buttons were sold in. It was worth the asking price alone.
Here are some of the many varieties of buttons in this collection. Some are gold, some white, some brown and some a variety of other colors.
These are some of the larger black buttons. They look like they were well worn. I am thinking by the size alone, that maybe these came off a coat. They are really nice quality buttons. I really like these.
These buttons are so pretty. This is a mixture of white or off-white buttons found in this jar. Some are rather large, but some are very tiny. Many of these buttons have a Opel look to them.
I hope you enjoyed a peek into one of my vintage button jars. Can you imagine the stories these buttons could tell of days gone by? I love old buttons in old jars.Please be sure to click on the Mr. Linky link below, and visit everyone participating in VTT and take a look at all the treasures on display today. Have a great week!
I love your buttons! I've got mine displayed in a depressionware bowl in our lounge :-)
ReplyDeleteI have my Gramma's button jar and I loved playing with it when I was little. Your buttons are really nice. Thank you for sharing. I like your meme and will try to participate when I have a little more time. Still new at blogging and it takes me longer that I think it takes most.

Like Roberta Anne, I need a little time to figure out how to participate in Vintage Thursday. Love your buttons! Hope I can join you all soon.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why buttons hold such a fasination for so many of us. I have several jars of them. I always think I'm going to make something with them, but never get around to it. You have some great ones in this post, and you're right, that refrigerator container is so neat! laurie
ReplyDeleteI love old buttons too and had the same fascination with running my fingers through my grandmother's buttons. I still love buttons (new and old). When my boys were younger, we made a game out of flipping them into a container (like tittlewinks).
ReplyDeletei adore vintage buttons!!..you've got a lovely variety & i love the jar too :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting buttons. It's funny they were in that refrigerator container. I have a container exactly like it that I have had for many years. I also have a larger one like it.

Everybody grew up digging in their Grandma's or Mother's button jar. Mine had round tins full of buttons similar to your collection. Sadly, they're long gone, but you, dear girl, are one of the lucky ones to have such beauties!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever just sit and play with the buttons? I do!
ReplyDeleteI love buttons especially the old
ReplyDeleteones. You have some really pretty
ones!
Love all your old buttons girl..and the bone ones are really rare...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeleteI love old buttons and have three large jars of them. It is fun trying to find fun uses for them.
ReplyDeleteLove your buttons, I am partial to ivory ones. When you sew it seems natural you are going to have a button jar and I do.
ReplyDeleteWill you delete my link on here Suzanne? I decided I didn't want to keep the post I had done and deleted it. Sorry for the trouble.

Love buttons! I have some of my Grandma's. So funny because I don't sew but never-the-less I just love having them!
ReplyDeleteI really like your sets, thanks for sharing!
I love buttons!
ReplyDeleteI like your buttons but I love the refrigerator jar...I can just feel the weight.
ReplyDeleteButtons are something everyone seems to love, and so do I. The box is very special.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THAT JAR! There is something about glass refridg. dishes that I find facinating??Like the buttons also! Mine are in an old tin!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteLove your button collection! Makes me think of when I was a little girl and my grandmother had a whole drawer of buttons and costume jewelry that I loved looking through. Sure wish I had some of them now.
Thanks for sharing...Happy Thursday!
I am swooning and coveting your buttons my dear.
ReplyDeleteI adore the off white ones!
I have a collection of old buttons too that I have gathered over 50 years. I'll post about them one day.
ReplyDeleteGREAT buttons! I love old buttons! I have jars and jars myself.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI have a post all ready and would love to participate but Mr. Linky is blocked, on my computer. I have to fix this problem and then I'll be back next week.
After seeing the wonderful button collections the last few weeks, I'm just itching to start collecting buttons too. I love the feel and sound of them and sorting them then dumping them all back together.
That container is great too.

My Mom had a button jar and I was always fasinated by it. When Mom passed my Sister ended up with it. ..I keep trying to talk her out of it...lol...
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed sheeing yours.
I really like buttons, I have several that I have picked up at sales,how can I tell if they are old?
ReplyDeleteI have a button jar too! My mom had one when I was little, and we would do crafts with her buttons, so when I was about 16 I started collecting spare buttons and stashing them in a mason jar for my future kids to play with!
ReplyDeleteI love your collection of buttons-so cool!
ReplyDeleteI like the buttons---I used to have some old ones that I kept in an old cigar box---most of you probably do not know what a cigar box is----I do not know what ever happened to them. I miss your SKYWATCH post---is it going to return?
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, I love your vintage buttons and refrigerator jar. I love buttons too. I have sold many of them when I was a dealer. I regret some of the ones I sold now.
ReplyDeleteI just said goodbye to 10 days of company in case you wonder where I have been. Quiet at last and no one needing food. LOL. I am feeling the love of blogging right now. I have missed my friends.
I need to remember your vintage day as I would love to be a part of it.
Hugs...Jeanne

What great buttons! So cute. My grammy and mom had great button jars. Great idea for a fun Thursday! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi, I relinked so I hope it works this time...sorry for the mess up. I'm kinda new too this link thing...lol...
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne...golly, I wish I'd saved a huge jar of buttons I had back in the 70s...I don't know what became of them??? ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteI am just able to post at the eleventh hour, but am glad to participate again this week.
ReplyDeleteSince I was born and raised during "the good old days", Vintage Thursdays is my favorite blog.
ReplyDeleteI am running a little late on comments this week - must be that teaching thing I do. I love the buttons - they are so sweet. My girls love to play in my button box and I hope someday this is something they will cherish. ~Kelly
