So, it wasn’t gold, and we weren’t technically on a “treasure hunt”!!
But, anyone that shares our love of sewing, fabric, notions, etc. etc. etc. will see the WEALTH in what we found …
VINTAGE BUTTONS!!
And, a few other random vintage sewing supplies . . .
While cleaning out the family’s basement this summer, we struck it rich!
These treasures are straight from our great-grandmother’s button stash.
Although a few of these gems didn’t survive the cleaning . . .
Many of them are still on original cards {with prices attached}, although we did question the 12 1/2 cents . . .
There were some pretty intriguing buttons, as well as a TON of basic, standard neutral ones.
We are already scheming the possibilities for them all!!
This discovery has lessened the pain of losing our childhood “button box” – and restored hope that it might too turn up one of these days!
We’d love for you to share any amazing sewing discoveries you’ve experienced! Because, we were quoted as stating – THIS. NEVER. HAPPENS. TO. US…
Okay. We can’t say that again!!
I was offered my husband’s grandmother’s button box. She was an antiques dealer so it is the a grocery store apple box full of treasures. Enjoy your finds!
WHOA . . . I bet that was amazing!
LOVE this find and can’t wait to see how you use them.
What a wonderful find! I love buttons, though I don’t use them often. My awesome sewing find was two vintage sewing machines, one of which works perfectly, the other of which only needs a new belt, for a mere $100.
That’s awesome!!
