I do like a good rummage around the charity shops...I get quite excited as you never know what is going to be found. Yesterday I came away with what I call treasures. The first is a vintage wooden spool of variegated green thread, probably rayon.
In another shop I found a necklace, someone had made it out of blue buttons.
Then I found some metal hooks and eyes from the sixties. I do like the royal seal of approval !

I thought I would buy it and cut it up to use the buttons in sewing projects, but I think its too pretty to do that and it makes a nice bracelet.
Total cost less than £2.50, wonder what I'll find next week.
Bye, Ali.
Treasures indeed Ali, I do love old wooden spools!

You found some lovely things, Ali! I always love to find old haberdashery items too, and your button necklace makes such a lovely bracelet.
