And as I've also mentioned, I've spent LOTS of time cleaning them, because, for some reason, they're never clean. I swear people used to store their buttons in garages and dingy cellars.
I thought I'd show you some of my current favorites from my collection...
Is it wrong that I just get SO excited and giddy from looking at these? Probably!And here are 2 vintage Canada (probably uniform) metal buttons. These were a fun surprise to find!
I do have lots of thrifting finds to show you, so I shall be back very soon (maybe with even more finds from this weekend)! :)Happy weekend!

Oh, be still my heart!! Gorgeous--I totally share your love of the old buttons!! The colors and designs are just so lovely. I'll share a little cleaning tip with you...when I get new buttons, I put them in my little lace lingerie bag with the zipper top, pin the zipper to make sure it doesn't come open in the wash, and pop it in with a load of laundry. Let the washing machine to all the work for you! It works like a charm.

Thank you, Karen! I'll have to try that next time! The good ol' fashioned cleaning by hand takes FOREVER! haha Thanks again!
