Vintage Shell Button Necklace

So, most of you know that I get a lot of my vintage buttons from my Grandmother, and that she is an antique button collector and frankly, just crazy about old buttons.

Well, she got her hands on the August issue of Bead & Button magazine which featured a shell button necklace project and we completed the project today. I decided to photo document some of the excitement....

working...
buttons...buttons....
and more buttons...
The project, from the magazine...
mine is on the top, my Grandmother's is on the bottom. ; )
