Magpie monday -Button catalogue

Today I thought it would be fun to join in with Magpie Monday! My find today is really something I was given but its still a find. The mother of my daughters friend called Jackie, lives behind some shops. One of them was a knitting shop that had been in the town for years and years. When the owner decided to retire she gave Jackie some things from the shop. Then over the weekend she was having a clear out and came across.....


She very kindly thought of me and passed it on. When I got it I was delighted as it has pages of button samples. There are buttons of all shapes and sizes and colours some of them really pretty. I use buttons in my craft so you can imagine I was delighted.



I will have to make something using the buttons over the next few weeks and come back and show you.
So a huge thanks Jackie for thinking of me!
Have a happy Magpie Monday!

    This is amazing and brings back memories of old shops when I was little. We have lost so much.
