I've got the button(s)!!At least once a month I try to stop in to "treasure hunt" at our local Good Will store. So yesterday I spy this tin of buttons. The tag reads 99 cents so I ask the lady behind the desk to retrieve it from its glass casing. She looks at me mysteriously and says "that can't be right!" The buttons are sellng for a dime a piece. I did notice some additional buttons marked as such ~ however; this particular container was marked 99 cents. She called another assistant to question her on the price and she responded "it's marked .99 so sell it for .99"
Now I'm not a so called "button collector" but when I saw such a variety of buttons it caught my eye right away. I do have some crafting ideas in mind. 
So that's my "deal of the day!"

okay... you already know what I'm going to say. "WOW CHER!!! YOU GOT A LOT OF BUTTONS!! FOR LESS THAN A BUCK!!" You can never have too many buttons!!! Oh your Grandloves are going to LOVE those buttons too. My kids STILL love looking through Mom's button can. Great deal indeed!!
Reminds me of MY Grandma Cora's button tin. No one can say you've lost your buttons.
Ditto, what Mel said. We will have to get together and sew or glue is faster, a bunch on our jeans and do the town...folks will think us ol ladies have all fallen off our rockers.LOLOLOL
Loveum...you sure have gotten the deal of the day

Wow! I love those buttons. Actually, I love ANY buttons. I can not believe you picked that baby up for only .99. That IS a deal! Thanks for stopping by and visiting me! Cheers - Kathy
Mom had a tin like that and I loved to sift through it.
My mom also had a tin of buttons! I think I still have them somewhere. It brought back such memories!
Oh duh! that's a pansy- it's amazing how your eyes does tricks on you!!
You really did get a great deal on the buttons. I love buttons too. I have a heart shaped tin of buttons that was my Mom's. I treasure it so dear. She had some stories that went with some of her buttons. Where this one or that came from and so on.
Unfortunately, I don't remember any of the stories. But I do treasure the memories of Mom and her buttons.
