craft, crochet, sewing, yarn stash

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.

Vintage button haul by you.

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.

 Ginger yarn in Scorcery colour from Live 2 Knit by you.

It has been hand dyed, and is a merino/silk/sterling silver mix.  The colourway is called Sorcery.  Just gorgeous.
