Welcome to the website of the Half Moon Button Club of New York's Capital District!
We would like to introduce the Club, invite you to join us at our meetings, and provide some information about other button societies.
Check out the tabs (About, Collecting, Members' Stories, and Gallery) above to explore further. You will find photos from our 80th anniversary party on the Gallery page.
Members of the Half Moon Button Club mourn the loss of our club member and friend, Criss Macaione. We all admired her creativity, kindness, and positive spirit. Criss, you are missed.

Half Moon Button Club and the Verd Mont Button Club of Vermont Shared an Engaging Day
Half Moon Button Club and the Verd Mont Button Club of Vermont Shared an Engaging Day
Last year, on Saturday, July 20, 2024, Vermont's Verd Mont Button Club hosted Half Moon Button Club members in Fair Haven, Vermont. The day's gathering included button sales, plenty of project cards to peruse, a delicious potluck lunch, door prize giveaways, and a fascinating talk by Lisa Wernhoff about the buttons of Vermont.
This year, the Half Moon Button Club hosted members of the Verd Mont on Saturday, July 19. Two additional collectors from Troy were also able to attend. You can see us in the photo below. There were exhibits, lots of buttons for sale, a silent auction, favor bags, and "take and make" projects of tiny books with buttons for the covers. Trudi Jacobson gave a talk about buttons made with thread, cord, and similar materials. Food was potluck, and utterly delicious. Look for additional images on the Gallery page.
