Bag o' buttons
I found another bag of buttons at the thrift store and "splurged" the $2.99 on them because I could see there were lots of my favorites -- mother of pearl and shell buttons!
But, there was more than that...
Some very nice steel and metal buttons, and, the ones on the far left are glass with embellished tops!
More glass, tied together -- I just love that!
A few pretty celluloid, composition, and bone buttons, too!
All of the ones that are the same, on the left, are painted glass! The ones in the very front are so special: one clear glass with ruffled edges, and one that is enameled! Such a treat!
As always, a few extras in the mix: a belt buckle made from what I think is apple juice Bakelite, a little pin from a service group, and some wooden beads. You just never know what you'll find in a bag of buttons!
Comments
Today's clothes, like T-shirts and sports/leisure wear, seldom have buttons, so in future it will be more difficult to find such a variety of buttons from shift shops, don't you think?
The circular metal pin that you described as from a service organization, is a perfect attendance pin from a Congregational Sunday School.
