BUTTON UP

This stylized 1920's button has caused me to learn the French word for a button collector, un fibulanomiste, as well as led me to an unusual video clip about a French-Canadian button collector. Charming.

Vocabularly
un bouton:  a button
boutonner:  to button up
se boutonner:  to button one's shirt up
