“We have been collecting buttons for over 40 years, and belong to the Victorian Button Collectors Club,” Mr Pappas said.

“The buttons are very old, miniature works of art from all over the world, displayed in easy to view glass topped cases.”

Leon has been painting for more than 55 years, and moved to Baddaginnie four years ago.

He has exhibited at the Benalla Art Gallery and is a member of the Benalla Broken River Painters, whose members will also be exhibiting.

The exhibition will be in the Baddaginnie Jubilee Hall for one day only, on Saturday, March 8 from 10am to 3pm.

Entry is via a gold coin donation, with proceeds going to the Baddaginnie Jubilee Hall.

The buttons are for display only, and are not for sale. The paintings, however, are available to buy.

Only cash will be accepted.
