My life changed dramatically in 1989 when I discovered antique buttons. You can tell more about any country, it's people and their culture, from their buttons, than you can from all their coins and stamps put together. For thousands of years, buttons made of every material known to man, have been used to depict every aspect of human life and the world we inhabit. I continue to find buttons intriguing and feel very fortunate in how this hobby has brought me a multitude of new and wonderful friends.
