I can’t say I’ve met a Mother of Pearl Button that I didn’t love. Something about them just makes me hoard them, cherish them and search for more. I am sure that some of you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

I came across this Etsy article on the subject of the History of Mother of Pearl Buttons. Now I’d have to say my addiction is even stronger. I loved learning about how they were made, about the people who made them, and of the art of a bygone era. It makes me linger as I run my finger over their smooth surfaces and contemplate how I will use them next.

Our little town on the Wisconsin River was once a hot bed of buttons like this. I found that out by reading a placard along a hiking trail on the river. Very cool! I have always loved the soft shimmering colors of these tiny little workhorses! Something so pretty made into something so useful! Enjoy the day! Erin
