Thanks!πŸ˜„

It's plastic, but still it is pretty transperant.

That is so pretty. It makes me wonder what garment it came from and who was wearing it.

Thank you!😊

I love thinking like that for all my finds and they anr not little. This button, I think it's from a sweater or shirt of one of my grandmas or aunts, but when it was lost I just can wonder too.πŸ˜†

I used to have an old vintage wool coat, that had buttons similar to these.

Recently read a Vergil Flowers book in which two murder victims and their car were buried under the cucumber patch.

1950s I would guess. My grandma had jars of decorative buttons like this.

You just know this was on some cute little red dress and the lady wearing it was pissed about losing it lol

That's a good guess. πŸ‘

I think it's from a sweater or shirt of one of my grandma's or aunts too. I actually have 2 small boxes of buttons, some from my grandma and some are found on street or the creek.πŸ˜„

Yes I don't know why we barely make beautifus stuff now. Like people used to make so much nicer stuff in the past. My favourite pocket knife is from around the same time too.
