I made a large button score last month and I am remiss in sharing pictures of my favorites. I apologize in advance because I am sure some of these photos overlap.
Plastic buttons with rhinestones.
China, bone and some carved MOP on the right edge.
These are all glass except a colorful wooden one peeking up from the bottom.
Interesting metal buttons, some very pretty MOP and those brown buttons have a scout emblem on them. I usually find green. Does anyone know if they are Boy Scout or Girl Scout? I was thinking maybe Cub Scouts?? I am sure I can find out on line but I haven't made the effort yet.
Interesting plastic buttons.
More plastic...
The two in the upper left are both tight tops. There are several uniform buttons in this picture and I have never seen ones like that discus thrower or the lighthouse.
Love that big Lucite button!
As always, click the pictures bigger to get a better look.
The mauve one with the white wash are among my favorites. There is a rather plain little Bakelite in the lower left corner but I will take Bakelite in any form!
A couple neat deco-style in this lot. My Granddaughter's little cousin picked up one of the red ones and declared it a Target button - lol!
Pierced is always good.
This was a very large lot and took quite a while to clean and wash and my stash for Etsy is well replenished! Now, seriously, I am going to get busy getting my work bench cleared off. I mean it this time. Here I go...

I am pretty boring here because my favorites are the whites and tans in the third photo. I like the big holes.
My sister got a lot of my grandmother's collection. She framed several of them after putting them on cards.
Wow! This load must have kept you busy for quite a while. I think my favorites are the plastic ones, so many fun shapes and colors. This is just a guess, but I wonder if those buttons could be from a Brownie uniform?
You find the most wonderful buttons!! I like them all! The plastic one with the blue rhinestone is very pretty. I just can see jars of colorful buttons lining a shelf!!
SO many very pretty buttons!! :) xo Holly
I'm guessing Brownie buttons? But I really don't know, so look it up! How's that cleanup project coming?
What a wonderful assortment! I love those white ones with the big holes. It's fun digging through them...I like to sort them! haha! Hugs!
Wow and wow...I love buttons and those are some beauties. I am always drawn to the rhinestone ones and the Bakelite are gorgeous. I am sorry I don't know anything about scouting buttons.
I think making paper flowers out of pattern directions is a fabulous idea!

I always love looking at your button scores and your comments - helps me to figure out whether or not I have a good bunch of my own LOL....
I never get tired of seeing your buttons. The little white bow is too cute. Someday my table will be cleaned off and I can actually sew again!
Pretty new buttons!! It so fun to see all these different and unique ones!! xo Heather
Drooling...
I think the little brown buttons are Girl Scout buttons (or maybe Brownie buttons...)
WOW I want them all
I separate mine into colors in jars
I guess you keep your favorite one of of the bunch don't you
I just can't part with any of my buttons except the black one I sold a gallon jar full
I adore vintage buttons, and I love sorting a big pile of them. I find it so relaxing.....
