Day Four - Mecation

It was a dark and dreary day but I decided to go out and visit an indoor flea market.  Much to my surprise, there were some dealers outside, too!  I enjoyed looking around but couldn't spend any money.  Went inside and same thing, didn't purchase one item and I tried, I really tried!

I left there and went to a co-op.  Again, really had trouble spending money!  A lot of the dealers were having sales, anywhere from 15% to 50% off but could I find one single item in any of them?  NO!  Then, I came across this one dealer that had so many items to go through, I was having a ball.  But guess what?  Nothing was on sale in this booth!  That's just my luck.  But just take a look at what I did get!

I love these!  Will anyone else though?  They were described on the tag as plastic ornaments with stuff inside them!  LOL!

Don't tell me you don't think these are about the cutest ever!  Love the snowman with the tree and candy cane.

Do these have a real name?  On the tag, glitter snowman.

I did get a discount on these:

Ah, purple calico buttons!  I'll keep any I don't have in my collection and sell the rest.

Vintage Button Collection

Okay, so I promised a friend I'd take photos of my button collection, here's the beginning of them!

Many, many years ago, I was really into button collecting.  I had tons, I was a member of the National Button Society, got all the bulletins, all the collecting button books etc.  Well, I decided to sell my entire collection.  I found it too difficult to not collect them!  I have started up again but now collect only a certain few and not everything under the sun.

In today's post, I'm going to show you some glass buttons.  Sit back and relax, there's a lot of photos and this is one of my smaller sections of my collection!

These are just a few misc. glass ones.

I love glass with different luster finishes.

A few art deco ones.

I love it when I find a button I really like and then find it in different colors!  The top card is the same button in pink, yellow and clear.  The last one is a reverse painted one.

These are stencils.  Again, same button in different colors!

Calico buttons, I love the art work on these!  The last one is an ink well style.

More calico buttons in different sizes.  I think the squiggly ones are my favorites.

I'm not sure what these are called, I call them inscribed.  I can't get enough of these!  Check out the two blue ones, mother and daughter sizes.

Love the golf club and ball!

More inscribed ones!  Fruit, animals and rock n' roll!

Stay tuned for more categories in days to come!
