Thanks for showing them up close. Fun trip down memory lane.
What a lovely collection. I would love a set of notecards with your photographed buttons. They’re little works of art.
A project like that would take me all winter, unfortunately, and I will be starting more seeds soon, and still the house has not been organized. Oh well!
Wow Kaye - what an awesome collection! And in true Kaye fashion, she stores them in their original boxes inside a much larger box. The black button with the off white lady bust reminds me of my lady head vase collection - so pretty. When you pulled out the sewing kit that was in your sewing machine drawer from another lady it gave me hope that one day someone will find and potentially use my collection of sewing material, thread, yarn, buttons, etc. You are so right - we can't take it with us. Have a blessed week and great video..
I really like the idea of some type of artistic display. And some could easily be adapted to jewelry, brooches, ear rings, necklaces. That big one could be a belt buckle.
I love vintage and antique buttons. I can a ton of them. I love an old vintage buttons. I hope someday clothing matters again.
You could take those to an Antiques Road Show!
Your buttons are beautiful! I enjoy sewing and really liked seeing your collection. Thank you, for sharing it with us. 🌷
You are so welcome!
Very cool collection. I had no idea buttons could be so pricey. Those heart shaped buttons from Hawaii are made from coconut shell. I have hundreds of button blanks (no holes or decorative work) made from Tennessee River mussel shells, from a no longer existing button factory, that I picked up at a flea market 40 years ago. They look kind of like mother-of-pearl. I have used a few over the years in my gourd art.
What a beautiful collection of buttons that is stunning art. My favorites are the toucan and the horseshoes. The toucans are number 1 for me. So sweet.
I love buttons, my mom had large plastic jars full of buttons....my sisters and I used to dump them out on the bed and just look at them. We did that many times for entertainment when we were children. Buttons are awesome. Thank you for showing your unique collection. What an awesome video; I thoroughly enjoyed it. My favorite are the green glass and pearl buttons.😊❤
Kay you are such a creative soul. Your buttons are just beautiful. When you talk about Art Deco and Bakelite you’re speaking my language. The incredible detail that was put into buttons back then was amazing. As a fellow seamstress I truly appreciate you sharing your collection with us. Your sweater is gorgeous as well! Take care.
Oh thank you!
A little piece of history and a lost art❣️
Fabulous collection! So glad you did close-ups, thank you for sharing 🤗
Thank you for showing your button collection! Lots of fun to see! Beautiful small works of art! I especially love the 8 green glass and mother of pearl buttons! Also the ones with figures running, standing with goat and woman's profile! Oh! They are all lovely! Your sweater is beautiful also! Fun to see Patch!
Thanks!
What an amazing collection you have Miss Kaye! Thank you for sharing them with us!💞
What a beautiful collection of buttons along perfect music selection. I believe 46:56 is to be sewn on the end of a collar for a dress , cuff, or cape. I see these on Mardi Gras costume. As for this collection, can’t you turn them to earrings or necklaces, like the big single metal button? Ms. Kaye, I’m speechless… this is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I could, but it would be time-consuming and why? Going forward people are going to be lucky to buy real food to eat.
I enjoyed this show and tell! I could easily imagine a blouse or fitted dress with buttons in the back! ❤
Now I'm longing for something I've never had. Lol I love these videos.
Thank you for sharing your button collection! Fun to see! They are all beautiful! Small works of art! The set of 8 glass and mother of pearl buttons are some of my favorites! Also the ones with figures running, standing by fence and silhouette! Oh! I like them all! The style and color of your sweater is beautiful! Fun to see Patch!
Thank you so much!
Amazing collection Kaye! So beautiful and unique.. ♥️♥️♥️ thank you for sharing😘
Beautiful buttons Kaye! Thank you for sharing
You’re very talented. Loved your button collection. They are so beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Tender buttons closed in 2019. There is an article in the new Yorker about it. If you Google tender buttons New York you will see the article and be able to read it.
OH MY GOODNESS, THAT MAKES ME SAD, BUT NY IS IN A SAD STATE, AS ARE MANY CITIES.
There amazing buttons thanks for sharing you
Beautiful collection Kaye…what great memories they bring…♥️
This was very intriguing. As you said, it is a bit of history.
Thank you!
Very unique collection- I’m sure some would fetch a fair price. I’m looking around thinking to unload some things to further sustain us. ❤
Yes.
Love the unique buttons that you have. So pretty...what a wonderful collection. My grandma didn't have anything like yours.
Kaye! Thank you for sharing.❤
Thank you for sharing your collection, Kaye! I enjoyed it very much even though I've never made my own clothes or collected buttons. Chickens are easy to care for and so beneficial. You need some. Lol
If I had a partner, I definitely would! Thank you!
Love vintage buttons!
I love seeing your buttons. I remember my grandmothers button collection. Hers came from worn out clothing, she cut them off to save them. What is more valuable to you now, buttons or garden dirt? Because of the way the world is now I vote for something to use to grow more food. Good luck.
Thanks for sharing!
My button collection is very inferior to yours. Love them. Thanks for sharing Kaye.
So amazing!! Call an antique collector.. auction house… I’d get a quote..
There's a lot I'd like to sell.
Beautiful collection Kaye! The details on some are amazing. They are small works of art. I too have a button collection but mine are loose and in a tin like my mom always kept hers. My mom would sew many of our clothes, so she never threw out a button. Some of my buttons are quite old but usually only one or two of each.
Great taste these are treasures
Beautiful I now have a apprecistion
I have shared this v'log with a few people I know who restore clothes for various people and museums. They always complain about finding buttons! So, you never know who might be calling for buttons. : )
Okay, haha! Thanks! Someone just wrote that Tender Buttons went out of business. One of a kind. Sad.
Kaye your collections and stories are fascinating.on a side note your hair looks fabulous ❤
Oh thank you!
Have you ever made an outfit around a button?! ❤Beautiful collection!! I am about your age and I miss the way we used to treasure the simple things. I still have a button tin and save buttons. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching!! It seems like I have, but don't remember specifically.
Great collection of buttons 👍
Kaye, The buttons are so pretty and unique, but I would sell them on Ebay orto a dealer to have money for garden supplies. You hobbies and passions have changed.
To start a successful Etsy business would take a lot of time which I just don't have. I offered to my neighbor Natalie to do all the listing and fulfillment and I would just provide the stuff and give her a big cut, but so far, she hasn't had the time.
No worries, I have a box I moved here from Virginia to Maryland about 11 years ago and I haven’t opened it yet. Obviously there isn’t anything important in it as I’ve survived these years w/o whatever is in there. Regarding the kitty paw prints. We had many cats throughout my childhood, my father tolerated them and but he would get so angry when he found kitty paw prints marked all over the windshield of his car!
But that's such an easy fix, haha. Wiper blades take them right off, no work needed.
Very cool video Kaye.
I liked the medallions
What a lovely collection!! I do have to say that people do get ripped off in NY. I can't believe you would pay $250.00 for 4 buttons. But then you have designers that will pay that price because they put them on the over priced clothes that they make and they get their money back. It was kind of like when I went into the stores at Art Deco in Miami Beach. A dress for $5k that looked like it was made at the 5 and dime. If you wanted good quality then it was $10K to 20K. I always thought what a waste and what a gimmic. Your sweaters are BEAUTIFUL. What a talented lady. Now that would be worth paying some money for. It was so much fun watching you open each box. It was like watching a little girl on Christmas. I truly enjoyed the close ups at the end and the music was enchanting and relaxing. I did some research for you and ONE of the most valuable is the cellulose. They recommend you contact an appraiser to get the real value and not to sell until you know what you have.
I once cleaned a home for a very very wealthy lady. I was paying my way through college. She came home with a wooden chair. The chair was painted black with gold flecks. She paid $5 K for that chair. I told her she was crazy!!! I went home and painted a black chair just like the one she had. I also got some gold paint with REAL gold in it. I took the brush and dipped it into the paint and spattered the chair. I had a 5K chair for $25.00. True story. Looked IDENTICAL to hers. She was shocked. I told her I could have made her one and she could have paid me the 5K.
Anyway, thanks for sharing and take a day to do research to find the value of your treasures. I had fun and learned about my lovely VERY OLD collection of antique canning jars. It's fun and relaxing.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Well, all those buttons sure need a glorious outfit to be displayed on. Ever think of selling them to the highest bidder on Ebay or something? I'm making ginger snap cookies today with Einkorn wheat flour. At least one ingredient besides the ginger will be healthy. LOL Ginger snaps are so nice with a cup of tea.
You must share your recipe! I wound up freezing my ginger so it didn't go bad, but the first piece I took out was mushy when it thawed. That probably wouldn't matter in cookies...?
Thanks kaye❤
Well because we have had 2 days at 70F I have now seen 2 small grasshoppers. I did see a web site for a well-known Oregon nursery who's daughter has a prominent gardening CZcams site, they suggest a Cedar oil type spray that they indicate may be a good deterrent for the grasshoppers. I may try it. I cannot have a third year of that infestation. I also will cover my raised beds and my pots and planters as possible with insect tule netting! Not playing around any longer with pest control. I am an organic gardener. I gave up on sewing in 8th grade. In 7th Grade at my LAUSD Jr. High, the sewing teacher accused my of having my mother do the sewing work assigned for homework for me. Mom even saw the teacher and no-go about it and I got a poor grade. Very discouraged and never took up the craft again. Now, I regret my rash emotional decision. I have had a collection of 19th and early 20th Century buttons inherited from ancestors via Mom.
Wonderful about your button collection! Sad about giving up sewing for lack of a supportive teacher. Today they would be pushing gender theory, so there's that. Goodo getting ahead of the grasshoppers. It would be heartbreaking to hear you had another destructive infestation this year. Much love.
Do what you want and love, Kaye. As for writing cards, the kind sent in the U.S. Mail, many people enjoy those, even those young people that tend to text or whatever online. Hayward Unified School District in No. California just reinstated instruction for cursive writing in first through third grade this year (2023-24 school year.)
Maybe there's some hope for cursive, yet! Thanks for letting me know!
I did have some old buttons but they disappeared when I moved.
time to
create art piece or open a ebay store and make some
money off
of that collection
❤ are your cats in your house now ?
BJ and Spot are spending more time inside during the winter, but I don't let Patch out at all.
That's Amazing and you are Amazing as well ❤🌹🌻🥰😘Much loved! You can live in my house anyday cus your cute asa button and I might get a very very nice sweater out of the contractual deal! Are you game? 😘🌹
Great lovely Video thank you and I hope you had an enjoyable day, I did!
Can you put them closer to the camera ?
Did you watch the whole video?
@@Latebloomershow yes ! I did see you put them closer to the camera. Beautiful buttons
My thoughts as to why the democrats (elites) pushed to eleminate cursive writing is because the forefathers wrote in cursive which included our Constitution
Cursive writing is now a secret code for old-timers.
