Books and Buttons

These are my finds at a recent antiques fair and flea market in my local town hall. I feel I was very restrained! I have a huge love for the old penguin books and have started collecting some popular titles, they aren't worth much money but they look very pretty on a book shelf! This green Agatha Christie I picked up for £1 (bargain!) and has been added to the two I found in a second-hand book shop (Lady Chatterley's Lover and Wuthering Heights) on my shelf - three counts as a collection right?!

The buttons were £4 for the four large ones and £3 for the small ones, all mother of pearl, and will be added to my sewing basket - I haven't got a specific use in mind for them but buttons are always a useful thing to have!
