Going through this book, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style by Monica Miller, I found something interesting that I have something that resembles a 19th century button....some porcelain buttons (at least I think they are porcelain), that I got in the garment district many years ago. I don't begin to think these buttons are Antique Old, but I do think they are now officially Vintage Old. I have had them at least 20 years and they were in an old dusty box when I purchased them.

Keith is a big fan of Motorcycles so when he saw this he had to have a photo. Even said he had a cycle kind of like the red one.
Africa Fashion at the Brooklyn Museum, was a treat. The exhibit is small, but features many Designers out of Africa. They did pack it in and I hope this subject is visited by many. The exhibit is there June 23 - October 22, 2023
