I found some very lovely Uranium Glow buttons while I was in Czech Republic. I will be posting them today To Wild Things Beads Facebook groups.
~~~~~~~~~~~
These Vintage Uranium Glow Glass Buttons are handmade in the Czechoslovakia 1950's and re-carded in the Czech Republic in the 1990's. They are a unique addition to a collector. With a nice glow color and a pattern style, these buttons are not only functional, but also emit a subtle glow due to their uranium content. (please use a black light to see full glow) The set includes 6 to 12 buttons on a card, making them ideal for sewing or decorating various items in a vintage-inspired style. Perfect for collectors or those looking to add a special touch to their creations.

We have a tradition in our family when we go on a trip to holiday. We lay all our treasures or goodies on my dining room table and take photos, so that many years later we can all see where we went and what we found. We have been doing this since my son was 4 years old. I hope you enjoy seeing these lovelies we found in Czech Republic. and by the way, these all fit into my 2 suitcases and my carryon!!!!
(not all of these will be for sale)
