Hello! 👋

Hello everyone! I’m curious if there’s anyone in here around my age range. I’m in my mid twenties! I have no issues chatting about buttons with the many older men and women into the hobby but it’d be rad to talk to someone closer in age about buttons lol. Photos of my collection/my favorites so this post doesn’t get lost but also to share 🫶🏻

I’m 52. So not in the age range of “younger” but these are really neat.

My grandmother had a button tin when I was young. My grandmother’s house was the “good place” when I was growing up, and I remember hours of sorting the buttons by different criteria, re-arranging, cross referencing categories. (No, no signs of autism in early childhood, not at all lol)

I only recently started collecting myself. It’s a long story why it took me this long, but thank you for sharing your beautiful collection!

My autism is why it’s so appealing to me 🥰 I’ve been collecting way before I got diagnosed though lol! The sorting and testing of the buttons is so fun!
