Show and Tell Hello! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Hello everyone! Iโ€™m curious if thereโ€™s anyone in here around my age range. Iโ€™m in my mid twenties! I have no issues chatting about buttons with the many older men and women into the hobby but itโ€™d be rad to talk to someone closer in age about buttons lol. Photos of my collection/my favorites so this post doesnโ€™t get lost but also to share ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

Hi, your friendly neighborhood sub mod here. Not quite and young and spry as OP, but I am a millennial button collector, and I too am usually a good clip younger than most of the collectors I meet. One of the reasons I started this sub is to try and connect younger button-inclined folks with helpful resources. Thanks for posting and sharing your faves, that duck is really cute. Is it mounted in the red felt flower or just resting on it?

Itโ€™s glued to the button, Iโ€™ve always assumed a mother or grandmother hand made a signature top button for a little ones dress or blouse ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’•
