The last of the collection is being cast on the waters.

Our thanks to all who have followed this task of responsible passing on. I held back many Canadian buttons-insignias from the Howard and Marjorie Scharfe Hatpins Collection, and it is now their time - with a taking to Tender Buttons in NYC. Some may find homes, some may not. C'est ca. Buttons turned hatpins. Good idea. Hatpins Collection Tour. A good way to learn history.
