Last weekend I vowed that I would not buy any more junk until I finished sorting and listing that huge pile of raw junk I told you about in
this post. Well. I caved in to the siren song of the VOA. It only took a quick trip and I spotted these three poke sacks and 3 blingy rhinestone broaches. This time I will try to redeem myself by not leaving you to wonder about the pig pile so here we go...

A few of the carded buttons and sets the sacks yielded. Can you even believe the brand on those copper buttons?? Oh yes, times have changed and for the better.

The rhinestone circle is a buckle. A large plastic with a MOP center. Two vintage clips and some handmade fabric buttons.
I have never seen anything quite like these two. They appear to be hand-beaded over crochet. The rhinestones are prong-set so I'm not sure how they are attached. Someone definitely put some work into making them!
Here are the three rhinestone broaches I bought. BIG and no missing stones. The rhinestones in the clear one show some tarnish so it is my favorite.
These are my favorites from the plastics. Those gold buttons in the center are interesting. I think they are supposed to look like gold nuggets.
This is the back side of the two buttons at the top of the picture. It is actually more of a frog closure.
My favorites, the glass buttons, of course! That little green button is the first glass realistic I have ever found.
These are extra special. Not only do they have copper looking sparkle in the glass but they are also whistles! If you don't know what whistles are, look at the center button. Whistles have one hole on the front and two on the back. Love these!
Okay, if you managed to stick with me all the way to the end then here is my latest thing to wonder about... Does anyone have an idea what that kind of webbing or those pins are used for??
Now I'm back to sorting and listing that raw junk. Did I mention I bought 31 vintage sewing patterns? Good grief.
