My box of buttons I purchased on e-bay arrived yesterday... Imagine my surprise when I opened it and bundles of carded buttons are wrapped in tissue and tied with lace bows. At the bottom of the box is a large 5# bag of loose buttons and immediately I can see many are unique and vintage... Right on top is a large MOP like the ones I'm always looking for.
It is much too exciting to go through alone so I have left everything unopened and invited a friend over this afternoon to help me sort through the loose ones and open all the packages... What fun..
Oh, how fun!!!! Don't you just love buying a bunch of goodies at once and going through the bunch slowly. ; )

What a treat!
ReplyDeleteWish I was the friend!
ReplyDeleteA friend to share the excitement of a great find (or buy) is the best thing. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW who is a lucky lady - this button lover is drooling on the keyboard you are not nice posting photos likes this.
ReplyDeleteI have a serious case of button envy! One of my favourite rainy day things when I was a kid was to get out the button box and sort through them all...and I'm still the same. I have 13 quart canning jars and 2 - 2-quart ones full of buttons sorted by colour on the top of my computer desk so I can see all the pretty colours and shapes.
