A couple more stash additions
When I was visiting my parents in the country a week ago we visited a fantastic patchwork and quilt shop. They were selling vintage buttons on consignment for an elderly lady who lived in a retirement village nearby. Of course, I added some to my stash.
Apparently most of these date back to the forties and fifties. The large one was $2 – the small ones 50c each. Bargain. The lady selling them was a collector.
This beautiful yarn comes from Live 2 Knit.
It has been hand dyed, and is a merino/silk/sterling silver mix. The colourway is called Sorcery. Just gorgeous.
I have a few of that really big one and always meant to make a coat to go with them – gorgeous buttons!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Those buttons look like all the buttons that I have in my tin. I still haven’t finished sorting my loot. They were my moms and mine from many many years ago. I just love them.
I love vintage buttons, but lately I’ve been having trouble finding them in my city. So… I’m a little teeny bit envious of your stash 🙂
Beautiful yarn! What are your plans for it? I have some in a varigated colourway for a pair of socks over Christmas possibly.
Lovely buttons. Modern ones just don’t have the same quality.
Hi. I liked gray button very much. I want to buy it. Do you sell to me? Thanks. Your site is very nice.
