Unexpected Finds

I love antique stores. They are so inspiring full of unique treasures from the past. Most often I cannot come close to affording these treasures. Recently I paid a visit to a quaint little shop in Woodstock, VA. It was beautiful and full of fun things most of which were crazy expensive but I was able to leave with several beautiful finds that I want to show you!
I always tend to head straight for the jewelery in shops and at this store they had a great selection. I love Cameos but had yet to own any...until now, which brings us to the first finds. I was so excited to find these two pairs of earrings. They are both made of some kind of plastic which made them affordable for me, but they don't feel cheap at all which is nice. Both pairs are screw backs which is also something I have never had, I guess that shows their age.

Here is a picture of my fun jewelery finds.

Next are the buttons. I love unique buttons they can be so interesting and give extra interest to clothing. I don't have a big collection of buttons but this shop sure did, there were buttons everywhere I turned so I could not help but check them out and I am glad I did. I was able to come home with four special buttons. I can't wait to use them on something!

Here they are...

It's hard to see the wonderful detail and beautiful color of each button in these pictures. The ones on the right are a nice olive green with a little hint of amber in the etching, and the red one on the left has an intricate design around the rim, so fun..

I wish all of you could have seen this antique shop with me. Hooray for old things!!
