A couple of weeks ago I needed to pop into John Lewis to exchange a zip I had bought in the wrong size. I was with my lovely friend M, but unfortunately she wouldn’t let me get distracted by all the pretty fabrics and sale yarns. I did however make a slight detour to the remnant bin by the cutting table and found a bag of random buttons for £3. How could I say no to that?!
When home and opening the bag I discovered more delights than I expected:
- 3 sets of 10+ buttons – teeny turquoise and brown buttons and chunky blue speckled buttons.
- 6 big brown buttons
- 7 medium greyish buttons
- 3 big glitter shank buttons
- 2 novelty buttons
- lots of random odd buttons.
What a great addition to my button tin!
Have you found any surprise bargains lately?

I had the same experience back in Feb in John Lewis – I got a fantastic button jar with a pin cushion on top for half price – bargain!
