*Reviews composed in 2021 2020 into 2021 truly shaped up to be a time of transformation for myself and I treated myself to some special trinkets to celebrate, starting with these lovely finds from Grandmother's Buttons. Where to start with this nifty little shop? Their designs are stunning and original (many of the buttons shown are one of a kind and cannot be reproduced), the jewellery may appear delicate but they are quality, flattering and of course, eye-catching. Their customer service is phenomenal and I adore they send you coupons for future purchases and seem so down to earth and care about preserving and sharing history with their customers. These trinkets are the very definition of heirloom pieces and I'm so happy I discovered this storefront. Moon Cresent Bracelet- the little tag that came with each bracelet says this button is from the late 19th century and I can't stop musing on its particular history and story as I watch the little flashes of the cut steel moons and faceted centre in the light and relax further listening to the delightful tinkling sounds the dainty links make. Everything about it is enchanting and this little magpie found her signature bracelet. Antoinette Bracelet- this beauty hails from the 1930s according to the introduction tag and came from an era dress. I initially purchased this design because I thought it looked like a crystal pumpkin and it indeed does resemble a bedazzled mini pumpkin on my wrist and goes with practically everything I own just like the Moon Cresent Bracelet.
