Summary: Mary Leonardson was a button fanatic traveling around the world roughly between the 1920s to the 1950s meeting up with various button clubs to collect, sell, and expound upon the history, joys, and virtues of buttons. This piece is based upon her unpublished lecture notes about Charm Strings that she carried with her on tour.
