Patterns at 29p each, some unused
.......And a great selection of buttons:
This ice cream box was sitting under some shelves in a local charity shop I hadn't visited for some time. It was labelled as 'Small Buttons 5p, Large Buttons 10p'. After a discussion with the person in the shop about what classified as a small or large button (well, it's all relative isn't it?), I decided it was easier to buy the lot.
I got a fantastic selection of gorgeous, quality vintage buttons for £5. Most of the best ones were in sets too - it wasn't your usual button box full of single buttons that don't match. I wish I could have met the stylish lady who carefully kept all these buttons. I hope I can do them justice with my own makes.

Great finds! I get so excited when I find patterns, even if they're way to complicated there's something so appealing about the 1960s & 70's illustrations! Great red buttons, too. x

ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! Especially those buttons, I particularly love the red ones with the orange sunburst around the middle. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them! :-)

ReplyDeleteFab buttons! :D
ReplyDeleteSuch great finds!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely when you stumble across such a bargain? I found a mixed box of zips in a charity shop for 10p each and bought loads, happy day!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great find!
Deleteohh happy finds!!!
ReplyDeleteAugh good buttons! Those are rarer than hen's teeth! I always find once I've sewn up a coat or something I go through a wait-stage where I'm trying to find the perfect buttons-on etsy XS
ReplyDeleteBut no matter how many buttons I have - I never have the right ones to match my fabric either!
DeleteThose red buttons remind me of some sort of fruity Werthers Original sweets. :) I picked up the same Simplicity skirt pattern in a charity shop too, it must have been popular back in the day. Charity shop finds are the best!
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice classic pattern isn't it?
DeleteI love the circle skirt pattern, how fabulous that would be in a lightweight tweed for winter? xxx
ReplyDeleteAha! I like that idea...
DeleteOh Oh Oh!! I'm excited for you! Those buttons! I dream of finds like this, well done!
ReplyDeleteOHmyGOODNESS, those BUTTONS! Luck girl! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely goodies! The buttons are such divine colors - I'm excited to see how you use them!
