Button Bonanza

When I say the factory, i mean it,  we purchased the last of an old button factory inventory.  First I had a barrel of buttons, then another, now I finally got to buy out the inventory.  I had fun and now it's time to share the button bonanza.  The best part is these buttons have never been used, so they are all clean and pretty.  Nice shine to them.  Each little box had little paper tissues inside to keep the buttons clean.  Here's a look at the boxes.

Now the real fun begins with getting them photographed and into the Salvagenation inventory.
Uncovering finds like this is so much fun and it's how I got my name.  If I'm not digging in a barn or building, I just feel lost !
If you want to place a button only order and get free shipping, just send me an email and let me know you want free button shipping,  click the link to the right to do that.  Another way to get free shipping on a button only order is to send me a convo, tell me you want free button shipping and I'll make the listing for you.  Free shipping will only be offered to blog readers and my button email group.











I also have made arrangements with an upcycle designer to purchase buttons from vintage garments. While they use the garments to make all sorts of fun bags and totes, they don't need the buttons.  This allows me to offer some really unique and hard to find vintage buttons at a great price. Here's a look at some of those great finds.



Whether for crafting or scrapbooking, vintage buttons add a unique style to your work.  These buttons are in plastic, celluloid and metal.  Some with fantastic rhinestones, others with fun design and detail.  Add these to your knitting bag, sewing box or fill a jar with great finds. 

Never thing the price is indicative of quality, I've always tried to make purchases so I can sell to my customers at a price that gives them the opportunity to add to their collection at a great value.
