pretty buttons from my stash

I have visited, for a first time, a local store with fabrics for quiliting. I could not resist to buy some samples. In my opinion they are too expensiv but are also too beautiful not to buy them! Buttons you can mix as you wish because they are sold on weight.

Well, I've got buttons, lots of buttons.

I got these from the same apartment that I was treasure hunting in a while ago. I am so lucky to suddenly just get these things. The first thing I did was (of course) to pour the entire contents of the box all over the floor to look at every single button.

Although I do not really know what I'm going to use the buttons for, I'm pretty sure there will be no problem to get god used them. It's always nice to have some extra lying around. Especially when it is large amounts of beautiful vintage buttons .
