Vintage 1930s valentine card from my Mother's collection. The poem, printed in hard to read gold ink, reads:
Button-face oh! Button-face,
Be my Valentine!
With big round eyes and ivory skin,
Ev'ry grace is thine!
She has a real, hand painted button for a face. Unfortunately there is a crack in the button.
The back of the card is printed Raphael Tuck & Sons. LTD. London, Paris, Berlin, New York, and Montreal. Printed in Germany.

I have wanted to get a good photo of the button factory for a while. I'll have to keep trying.
Button Poms (Pompons) are popular accent flowers used in bouquets. They look quite different when they are viewed close up than they do in real life.

Cutwork button---this is my second attempt because on the first one I had too much lace and it looked like a sunflower.
The base fabric is cream duchess satin and the lace is cream as well.
The centre section is a piece of cream silk organza that had cutwork on it and I layered it on top of a piece of pale pink cotton Voile.
I had much difficulty attaching the lace--my fingers are too short and stubby to handle fiddly bits.
These elegant button covers are perfect for a simple outfit you want to dress up or to pair with an elegant sweater! This set includes two (2) button covers.
This button placement certainly seems odd to me (I don't think I'll EVER button it) but I do love the button that I chose and the little loop is pretty cute. It can just always stay open. No problem.
Really, I have a few other bones to pick with the pattern too, from the too-short length to the fact that the placket is supposed to be made REALLY long and then sewn partway shut (??) to the unfinished seams on the inside (I made some of them into French seams to at least cut down on the raw edges a little bit).
And please don't pay attention to the poor quality of my bias-tape-sewing there. That part was done about 4 years ago, when I'd really not done much sewing at all.
