I aquired loads of pre-world War II German buttons still on cards, depression glass, moonglows, etc. from a good friend. She came over a day and I spent way too much money on these wonders. I also bought a great selection of old underwear buttons, mother of pearl sequins, fish scales, animal mother of pearl buttons, tons of cool shirt buttons and funky plastic from the 50's/60's/70's. We had a crazy time sorting through all the boxes of *stuff*. This is just a touch of what I bought.
