I was looking for a nice size jar with a screw on lid and picked one up from the back of the rack at the Goodwill last week.  It was partially filled with some old buttons.  "Huzzah!" I said to myself as I put it in the cart, I'll look at them  later.    I have no idea about buttons except that I like them.   The jar is about 6" cubed.  It's not quite half full. I've had the little dog for ages...picked him up at at yard sale years ago.  Maybe I should give him a name.  I poured them out and saw they were indeed quite old and not all in great condition.   But I still liked them!  They would be fun to keep around I took pictures of about half of the buttons  What fun they were to go through!  Linking up to  Treasure Hunt Thursday Tickled Pink Times Two Frugal Friday Flaunt it Friday Pink Saturday Make it Pretty Monday Junkin Joe

I have only been thrifting a few times this week, My DIY project has been watching Susie and Smokey while their mother is out of town.  A twice a day visit to feed, water, change litter and spend time with them takes a chunk out of my day.  They pay no attention to me.  They are quite haughty about the whole visit.  I'm not surprised a bit. Smokey  But, during our hunt this week we did find the shelves that we needed.  We wanted solid wood bookshelves and have looked forever.  These came our way this week and we snapped them up.  Two bookshelves 5.7 wide, 7 feet tall and 1 foot deep.  Each unit has 12 shelves.  I haven't arranged them yet, but here is a sneak peek. The basket with the blue lining is the first basket I bought for my unit by my desk. The other basket I had.  My bookshelves will hold my overflow books but are primarily I need baskets for crafts, photographs, and items I can't bear to part with but you wouldn't deco...
