I have recently got these two buttons in an opp shop while on holidays. They are plastic and have a stylized cat picture on each. They are sew through type.

I have just been on holidays with my friend Margaret and she took me to quite a few opp shops in various small towns. It is always fun to hunt for buttons in the hope of finding a treasure. I didn’t have that much luck but in amongst them were a few glass, ceramic, old plastic, celluloid etc. I still keep some just as opp shop finds of the time and they will be of more interest in years to come when comparing them to the current buttons of the time.

This modern plastic button has a highly domed shape. It has an odd pattern in mauve, green and gold on a black background and is rather pretty. It is another opp shop find from a few years ago.
