Black and White buttons

The vintage buttons in the forground are some of my favorites. I was going to use them on the secret Valentine's gift I mentioned yesterday, but then had another idea. When I got them out though I thought I should show them to you. I found them at a flea market. I should explain something about many Norwegian flea markets. They are held by sports teams or bands, to raise money for the group. All items for sale are donated by people wanting to help or to simply get rid of no-longer-wanted items. So someone just gave these wonderful buttons away.

The flowers are actually pink. I think I will have to show them in color soon too. I added two new bags to my shop today. They are bright and colorful and wouldn't really fit with today's post.

I am already dreaming of flea market season opening in a few months. Better yet, talking with mom today and discussing possible dates of future visits! This is really going to help me through the remainder of the winter.

It's crazy sometimes what people give away! I'm glad you found them and give them a good home but still, crazy!

I'm happy that you are the one who took them home, you always make beautiful buttons more beautiful with your settings.

I wish we had those kind of flea markets in my town!
