Here are some of the items I picked up this past weekend during my trip to NJ.
My grandmother bought me the cruet set at the auction we attended. I had been looking for a set for a while now but they were either too big or too small. These are just right! At the thrift store I picked up the colorful bottles for $2 each and the custard cups were $.25 each.
I am already for the next vintage button swap now! I really got lucky with the finds in the next photos!I need to make a dress or something and use some of these pretties. I never gave buttons a second glance before I started blogging. See what you have done to me! I am a crazy button lady. I need to get a snap applicator. Those strawberry snaps are calling out to be put on some new wallets!
I am exploring my area again today. Thrifting has become one of my favorite things to do and today I have the opportunity to go to a bakery thrift store! Being a family of 2 doesn't require very many (if any at all) loaves of bread, but we were invited to a picnic tomorrow evening and they need some buns. I can handle buns. I can handle going to a bakery thrift store for buns even more.
(I just finished typing this post, hit the spell checker, and there were no misspellings! Today is going to be a good day!)
LOL, you crazy button lady! :) Those are some very pretty finds! I look forward to seeing what you do with them.

Those are some of the prettiest vintage buttons I've ever seen!!!!! (I'm turning a bit green over here.....)
ReplyDeleteThose buttons are gorgeous! I have button envy... We have a bakery outlet here that I frequent. I stock up on breads and donuts, and freeze them. Then we get donuts every weekend. Yum.

ReplyDeleteThose buttons are terrific...making my eyes jump up and down! Wish, wish, wish.
ReplyDeleteBe still my beating heart! Those buttons are amazing. I don't sew (at least not well) so I could never use them, but oh how I would love to look at them every now and then. Great finds.
