All or nothing at all...

Today was an antique bonanza. Flea market Sunday gone mega! A host of treasures dropped into my lap and I've been sorting, photographing and uploading all sorts of goodies to my little vintage shop, and I have only just begun! What I loved most were the buttons -- the likes of which I have never seen in all my years of haunting antique malls and shops.

Japanese porcelain buttons with shanks


Mother of pearl - look at those shapes!



Metal, some composition, buttons, circa 1900.
I'm in my element. Oh, joy!

    Did you get these at the Sunday Market at St Lawrence or at a different Flea Market?
