A Lovely hand made Glass Button my sister gave me for a birthday years ago. I love it but have not decided where to use it yet!
We have no idea. It's lost to history. All that can be remembered about the history of this button is that it was given out to employees of Ideal Mutual, an insurance company. To inspire the workers, a guy in a black cape would stalk the offices, for he was the Ideal BAD guy. BAD was an acronym, but for what? We don't remember.
I came across these further out on the board walk. Water is still to deep for anything to happen. managed to get a blue heron foraging and it looked like he was sitting on the water like a goose. They are wading birds and he was in the shallow water.

There will probably be a few macro shots in my stream for a while. I got my lens yesterday after waiting for it for 2 and a half months! I probably could have used this for over/under and geometry as well, but I might see if I can shoot something else for those two.

This is another button from my vintage collection. It's well over a hundred years old dating back to the 1900s. The little waistcoat button behind it was thrown in as a gift and I love it. The carnelian bead is just there for a bit of extra colour really. :)
I ran across this mysterious button and have no idea what it was on or where it came from. It seems to present a scene of some sort. It is about 40mm in diameter and is surprisingly heavy. It is some sort of metal. At first I thought Pewter but it seems too dark for that. It is too hard for lead but perhaps some sort of alloy. Any info would be appreciated.
I've always thought of boot buttons as black, but it seems some of them were very colourful. I don't know how many buttons were on each boot, but it's hard to imagine pulling a boot on and having to draw each button through a hole with a button hook. I guess they got used to it, but what a performance! Both the boot buttons and the folding button hook date from the 1910s. The buttons are ⅜" wide.
Lots of buttony goodness.

Silk Button Galls, my favourite galls, are created by the Silk Button Gall Wasp (Neuroterus numismalis)!
Neuroterus numismalis is a gall wasp that has two generations per year. One being sexual and the other agamic (all female and needs no male to reproduce). The sexual generation causes Blister Galls on Oak leaves. Whereas the agamic generation causes Silk Button Galls on the underside of Oak leaves. This gall wasp is common and widespread in Britain.
The Silk Button Galls are abundant on the underside of the Oak leaves and can reach 3 mm across. This gall holds the agamic generation and looks like a thick, rolled edge disk with a deep central pit and gold hairs, there is no mark on the top of the leaf. It is a single cell gall holding one wasp and can be seen from August to October, until the leaves fall in autumn. The wasp larva will mature in August but remain in the gall on the ground throughout the winter, emerging the following year from February to April.

I live in Canada ... land of winter .... this is a button I couldn't live without. It's my car-starter. No matter how windy, snowy, cold, and shivery it is, my car is nice and warm when I climb in and the icy windshield is now clear!
This button fairy now resides in Melbourne, Florida!
UPDATE 01/19/08 -- Sadly, this fairy didn't find her way to Melbourne. Maybe the postal service kidnapped her and she's hanging on someone's desk????? I don't know, but I am going to make a replacement and send it out to my partner. I hope the 2nd one will make it.
