collection spotlight: rock and roll buttons!

Now I like to stalk milk glass but back when I was 20 I used to work at a thrift store and in that time I collected rock and roll memorabilia (this is what is left from my rock tee collection:( I also have an odd collection of 80's metal silk tour scarves...) I haven't added a button to my collection since I quit that job and these have been sitting in little baggies ever since. Some are quite charming; I should really get around to framing them. Anyone else holding on to a collection from "when you were young"?

  4. @lesley I saw loverboy at the casino and it was one of the best concerts I went too! I used to own a tee too but then had the crazy idea to make a quilt out of it and ruined it:( I do have a soft spot for canadian 80's music that is for sure.
