The Josephine Lanza Collection
This is a set of one-of-a-kind buttons whose focals are from the jewelry of my late mother-in-law, Josephine Lanza, who died of old age during the COVid pandemic 2020. She was a wonderful mother and all round good person. She was a first generation Italian American who lived in NY and FL. Although I never saw her wearing these pieces, they inspired my button creativity.
Each is individually priced and sizes may vary, but all are large unless noted in the description. I'll know how many are in the collection when I am done creating. Note: they are listed here, but also by size above.
The wall piece on the right is Josephine at her confirmation.
it includes some of her jewelry like the faux pearls. |
