I don't find old buttons around the way I used to to but this lot caught my eye and the price was right so I went for it. There is a nice variety of all our favourite antique materials: glass, celluloid, vegetable ivory, Mother of Pearl, metal. Every one of them a keeper!
This batch had some nice metal picture buttons. Can you make out the peacock and castle buttons? The "belt &buckle" is celluloid and was once a pin. Sorting through buttons is by far my favourite "relaxing" indulgence.

"Every one a keeper" is an awesome find - high five!!
That does look like an interesting batch of buttons. Happy sorting!
The potato soup in the last blog looks really yummy. A good hearty soup for the nasty weather we've been having.
Sorting buttons? I love it too! One of the most relaxing activities known to man....
