...and sometimes you WIN! I have been on the prowl again for some specific vintage buttons for a project that's in my head and whilst searching through a recent button purchase found these amazing buttons. Now, you should know that I am a fan of natural materials and I have a deep fondness for agates, so when I pulled these sweeties from the pile I let out a happy little squeal. Aren't they beautiful? I wish I had a jeweler's sensibility because I'm sure they could be worked into something fabulous. I'm not sure what to do with them, any ideas?

Oh my! They are lovely! What a find :)
oh wow - what a find! they are stunning!
oooh pretty! Those would make a great zipper pull for one of those big bulky oatmeal wool sweaters.
Oooh lovely! I like the zipper pull idea from Jemjoop... or dangly bits on a keychain :0)
Or even earrings. They remind me of dew drops. It's like a stone you found in the river bed and washed clean so very pretty ^_^
Even one of your branch brooches with these hanging off of them would look smart!
wow!!! I would keep them for myself. I would string them on a ribbon, knotting so they are separated, and tie it on my neck for closure. plus I would put smaller little bits of something at the end of the ribbon and let it hang several inches down my back.
Wow, what a treasure! I would want to use them to make jewelry. Either pretty, dangly earrings or a necklace. You could also make some felted beads to incorporate into the necklace. I'm sure you'll have fun with them!
How exciting! Have fun!
Oooh echoing everyone, what a find indeed, my friend !!! I'd see them as earrings or a necklace, of course, and also as ... um, let me see ... maybe used on a lamp shade, or ... they could be the center of a flower (such as echinacea) ... oh well, maybe I'm not very original !
I hope you're all doing great, sweet friend. Kiss your 4 little & big angels for me, please. And here's huge hug for you only xoxoxoxox
beautiful find Lisa...you are good on the prowl:)
wow, these are so cool! i can't wait to see what you do with them :)
ooohh i can just imagine the little leap your heart must've done when you found these amongst your button treasure trove!
i saw them in your flickr stream and had to come over for a proper nosey - they're big and i bet they're heavy eh? They'd be gorgeous as a piece of jewellery perhaps just one as a pendant with a tiny key and some button charms something "steam-punky" yes definately just one , then send the spares to me - ha ha ha!
Stunning!!
