Buttons Buttons Whose Got the Buttons....

I like buttons...I have two containers full and an odd assortment of cards and tags with buttons from long forgotten and long donated clothes. My question is....do you save buttons from your worn out clothing? Or...do you buy items from a thrift shop because of the buttons?   I have buttons of bone...buttons of brass...ivory buttons or pearl buttons! Tortoise shell buttons or silver buttons. How about rhinestone buttons? Covered buttons? Oh my but the options are unlimited and all lovely.

Here are just a few from my overflowing old fruitcake tin!
