This was my very first attempt at repurposing old vintage buttons into something "re- new". I've been hooked on re-using vintage buttons and lace ever since. I love the jingle, clinky sound of the old buttons in a necklace. Every button tells a story too... ..I would like to believe that the two gold "c" buttons belonged to my grandmother Nora Caroline Keller. She liked nice clothing...so did my grandfather who worked in a nice men's clothing store for many years. Maybe that's where I get my appreciation of neat old buttons and beautiful vintage lace...I don't know--but I'm getting a unique chance to showcase shiny buttons and vintage lace of times long ago. I still think my grandmother is smiling about the "c" buttons though!!
