06 - Button Collecting and Hidden History - Finding Meaning in Everyday Objects


Listen Later

In this episode of Keeping Skor, we explore button collecting and how everyday objects can hold unexpected meaning.

Lisa shares her perspective on collecting buttons—not as simple sewing supplies, but as small artifacts connected to clothing, history, and design. Each button carries traces of where it came from, what it was attached to, and how it was made.
