We're Off To Button Moon....

I don't know about you, but I am always on the look out for treasure in CSs and when I handed over a big plastic jar filled with all these, and asked how much, what do you think was the reply.






£3.50 ?






£3.00 ?







£2.00 ?



When the kindly lady replied £1.00 my dear, I wanted to give more, and her a hug, but the thrifty girl in me took over and I practically skipped out of the door.


I had so much fun picking out some of my favourites and felt especially pleased as I had already used some of the ones a fellow Blogger kindly sent me in a pretty handmade bag. So felt someone was looking over me that day.






Anyone else have a button thing going on.

    I think I need therapy for my button addiction, hmmmmm may need therapy anyway lol!
    I love them, I get so excited over them but what is really sad is Jess is following me in the button addiction. She'll be joining me in buttons annonymous.
    Big ((hugs))

    Wow thats fab!!
    I have had a button thing since i was little - i don't really use them in craft projects (although i am planning to start). I just think they are so pretty and interesting. When i was young i used to tip my mums big jar of buttons onto the dining table and play with them - sorting out my faves or making patterns. Such simple pleaures!! x

    I buy buttons whenever I see them as I sell them at Dairy House Antiques and at Fairs such as the Vintage and Handmade Fair. A friend of mine has recently set up a blog entitled 'Confessions of a Buttonholic'. You might like to have a look. The link is on my sidebar. She runs courses in her little shop, including things to do with buttons.

    If you daughter likes the school I would look into it Mary, I’m not saying private is better, but Ben really did love his time at the school and has done really well.

    If only I could spell, I love it when Ben is home I can ask him, if only I hadn’t talked so much at school I might not have been so bad at spelling.

    Love Lou xxx

    Oooh some lovely buttons Mary! I found some in my CS last week and they were on bits of card - 10p per card but there wasnt many, certainly nowhere near as many as that! What a fab find! XXX

    How fab! I've had a button fetish every since I used to play with my grandmother's button tin when I was about 9! I've even got hubby on the look out for buttons and he gets very excited when he sees some!!!

    I have a really thing for buttons especially vintage ones. My great gran worked at a button factory as a young girl and guess who inherited all those lovely buttons she would bring home !!
