March is National Button Month! (Below are metallic buttons - 1850-1950). A virtual presentation, "History of Fashion Through Buttons" will take place March 20 (4 PM Eastern). After the presentation experienced collectors will be available to answer questions about collectible and antique buttons. Register in advance HERE.
I am totally IN for that presentation. Thank you. I'm in love with ALL buttons, but I need to have a better knowledge base.
The Idaho State Button Society and the Historical Button Club are sponsoring the event. The presentation is byJoan Lindsay who has published books on historical buttons. - "After the presentation experienced collectors will be available to answer questions about collectible and antique buttons." Perhaps Matthew will be "present"?
Amanda, I tried to find her books on Amazon, but no luck... if you know the title(s), let me know - for our Amazon shop .
I attended the webinars and I thought it was quite interesting. Thank you for letting us know about it. These were some hard core button experts! I wish they provided the presentation slides they used.
