    Thank you everyone....never thought of the thrift store. When you say thrift store, are you talking Goodwill or Salvation Army? Honestly never been to a thrift store, that I know of. I am guessing a consignment shop would be too expensive compared to a thrift store.

    @Mom23....thanks for the offer. Since these are Christmas table runners, I am looking for something sort of on the "dressier/fancier" side. My Christmas fabrics are sort of classical Christmas....poinsettias, holly, red w/gold stripe etc. Would like to find something "Christmas-y" for the buttons....a holly leaf, a snow flake....nothing cute or whimsical. Hope all of that makes sense. :-)

    I did a little searching for snowflakes (found a lot in silver) and holly in gold and that's a real hard one. My dd spray painted some buttons gold last Halloween for a costume. That may be the only way.

    I was at WalMart yesterday and looked at the buttons...some are very nice! And this was at a WalMart that did away with their fabric department years ago. If you have a WM nearby it would be worth a quick look.
