Funny, I was going through some old stuff just the other day and found alot of my old buttons. Depeche, Pet Shop Boys, Big Audio Dynamite, Arcadia, New Order.....wish I knew where all of them were.

Thank you for posting that Shorytt. I loved looking at them.

I have tons of buttons too. I keep meaning to pull them all out and take some pictures, or put them up on a wall or something...

Those are so cool!

I was a big button person, too. I still have most of mine, all on a long skinny tie (for storing purposes). Wolv, I was thinking I should go down to the thrift store and find a shadow box and actually stick the buttons in there to display. I think that would look pretty cool.

That is a cool idea!
I was thinking of putting some cork board in a frame, and stick the buttons in that. I have a bunch of old postcards and stuff I thought was cool from the old days. It's all been sitting in a box which I can never manage to throw out. I could probably do a collage & use the buttons to pin the stuff on.

Hmmmmmm...something to do over the long weekend! If I get it done I'll post a pic or two.

I make 1" buttons for bands. 99.9% of my business is hardcore punk bands, but "the kids" still love their pins.

The XTC Drums and Wires button is awesome!

I have the striped XTC, the Drums and Wires button (but mine is in full color) the red and yellow B-52's. the checkered Two Tone guy, and one of the Stiff buttons.

Plus I have some square album cover buttons... the first B-52's and the Talking Heads "More Songs.." XTC's Drums and Wires.

A couple of Plasmatics buttons, a couple of Siouxsie, the Mo-Dettes...

You know, this makes me want to get them all out and photograph them like this! They are currently in the same candy jar they have been in since the 80's, but now my 13 year old son has them.
