A...B...C's of Buttons

Picture
Members of the Hernando County Button Collectors Group have been participating in the Group's current activity, "A...B...C's of Buttons."

During the time of Covid-19, while the HCBCG has not been able to meet in person, we members are sharing buttons virtually. We will go through the alphabet and find buttons in our collections that match each individual letter to share.
Members send photos of button fronts and backs, size and material info and any personal comments they'd like to share about the button on a weekly basis. Participants can see a list of types of buttons per letter on this website’s blog. The alphabet blogs start in August, 2016.
Check out our favorite buttons!

Haiku for Button Lovers
Poetry Book
Picture
I LOVE BUTTONS!
For me, buttons are miniature works of art. Examining their designs, colors and materials gives me great pleasure.
Haiku for Button Lovers is full of “insider information” -- the details about buttons. The more you know about buttons, the more you will enjoy the poetry. It's short and sweet and is written with a clever turn of phrase.

The 76 Haiku poems are under these categories:
  • About Buttons, Ceramic, Fabric, Glass, Metal, Plastic, Rubber, 
    ​    Shell, Vegetable Ivory/Ivory, Wood
The last poem is a longer poem, which describes the desire and physical feelings a button collector experiences when getting a new jar of buttons.

I hope reading my Haiku for Button Lovers will delight button collectors and intrigue others to learn more about buttons and button collecting.

"Haiku for Button Lovers" can be found in Kindle form on Amazon: www.amazon.com/-/e/B07GDNQJF5  You can also read it on your smartphone, tablet or computer by using one of the apps Amazon offers.

2020 Florida State Button Society Show Cancelled

Picture
The Florida State Button Society has decided to cancel its January 2021 Annual Meeting and Show. Board members and vendors have expressed continuing concern about the Coronavirus epidemic still existing and the multiple precautions that would need to be in place to keep all safe.
Both the 2022 and 2023 Meeting and Show will be held at The Shores Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach, FL. In addition, the award categories announced for 2021 will be used at the 2022 Show.
Please know that we are sincerely saddened that FSBS friends and fellow collectors from all over the world will not be able to gather in Florida in January to celebrate button collecting!
