Most of these are rather modern but they are great Autumn colours and there are one or two really nice metal ones that I think would be great models to cast - like the one with the flowers on the left there. And this one with a coat of arms ...
At the very same op-shop I found a lovely piece of embroidery. The volunteer lady told me her Grandma had stitched it ...
It is like an envelope bag I guess - very pretty huh? Just look at those neat stitches!
A little later I found some more cute embroidery ...
Puppies (or possibly kittens?) in pots! Seriously cute. I think I will use these pieces to cover the front of a messenger bag. First I will have to add a few stitches to the dog/cats as they have no eyes and I will feel bad if they remain blind! Lots of folks find lots of cool stuff and share it over at Sophie's, so why not pop over and check it out?!

I cannot ever pass up buttons at a thrift store! Nice!
Another lover of buttons! I will have to post a pic of a HUGE jug that I purchased at a yard sale that the man had been collecting for 20 years. Oh my!
I also love any with embroidery. That was my favorite hobby in my teens.
Great finds!

Your buttons are beautiful! I am so in love with those embroidered pieces especially the bluebird. :)
