something nice about yesterday
Yes, there was something nice from yesterday! A lady looked at my stuff, and was admiring and saying all the right things, and I got excited! Then she asked me about buttons, and did I use alot and what a nice selection I had already used. She was really nice, and I thought maybe I could make a sale!
But no, but not no in a bad way. She asked if I would be interested in a tin of buttons she had in her car, left over from a jumble sale, so I said yes, that would be lovely, and thank you very much. Off she went, and after about 5 minutes I thought she must have forgotten. A tin of buttons would be nice, but I thought it was going to be like a small tin, sort of jam jar size.
Then she returned!
I opened it…..
and woweeeee……
amazing buttons, all shapes, sizes and colours….
It is a truly amazing selection, there are some whole sets, including a lovely set of carved leather buttons which are about 4cm across, just wonderful.
Hopefully over the next few days I will be able to show more of the off on here. I would have taken more photos today, but housework, a walk and less daylight hours put paid to that nice idea.
More soon!

What a bonus. I’m glad there was an upturn to the day. It reminds me of the tin that I inherited from my Great Granny – infact I’m sure I’ve got a few buttons exactly the same – those green glass flower ones. What is it about buttons that is so satisfying?
