We have had weeks of extremely hot days for nearly 3 weeks and I was so sick of being indoors trying to keep cool. Last Wednesday it was cooler so on the spur of the moment I decided to go for a drive. I went to Kyabram and met a friend for a coffee and then to the local Salvos Opp Shop. I was looking in a small box of buttons when one of the volunteers came over. She said that she had a few tins of buttons out the back and that I could go through them. I had told her that I was a collector. Well I had great fun and got quite a few black and clear glass buttons as well as some old plastics and perspex so I was pretty pleased. I am sure that many of them had not been used. They cost $5 the lot. I reckon there was at least $30 worth. Just to be cooler and to have a good find made my day. So here they are.
