All the buttons from a $5 jar - I opened it and right there on the top was this gorgeous vintage diamante buckle.......as well as all these treasures, little glass buttons and lovely old metal ones......
A separate $2.50 bag revealed these - they are all glass...I love the cameos...I really wish I knew more about buttons. Can anyone recommend a good button book?
the second bag was full of all these pretties.......
and a bag of vintage British snaps for $1 (some of these will go in my Cottage charm Giveaway Pack)
I also grabbed a very soft almost musliny embroidered apron, and some beautiful vintage fabrics ...........
Then, as I went to pay the person serving me asked me if I sewed (I think all the buttons were a dead giveaway). She said they had a bag of sewing stuff out the back I could have if I wanted it. It turned out to be a bag of unfinished Granny squares destined for the bin as they though no-one would want them.
Now, I am sooooo not a knitter or a crocheter so this bag is free to a good home. If you have a use for this and live in Australia, let me know and I will pop it all in a prepaid satchel and send it off to you. I mean, I just couldn't leave it there ready to be tossed away ...could I ?
