Button Button Who Has the Button?

What better way to spend a stormy, snowy (!?) April day than by sorting Lucille's great button stash & Vintage Treasure ?!

Lucille opening the barn to unload stash for the Old Depote JUNKtion sale
May 25-26th

Stash so large couldn't shut the tailgate - tarped the treasure
because of the 8" snowfall (in April ?!)

 We enjoyed a snowy afternoon, sorting through volumes of button & buckles.    

At the end of the day, this stash was nicely organized
by type & color

Fabulous Buckles 

Vintage Buttons hand-sewn onto Vintage Card Stock

 
As the snow continued to fall, we ventured into Lucille's stash of vintage sewing accessories, 1900's fashion magazine pages & elaborate sewing machine heads!

Planned to Update Garden Shed for Spring...
until it Snowed
Thought the Lit Tree was Perfect for April ?!#

Received compliments from the creator of FleaQuest ~ Tieran Haskins.  She commented that my stuff has a "young vibe & fantastic fabrics".  Swoon 

Also had a chance to hit a few sales; both chalk full of vintage finds.  Was a great day to be out in a snowstorm, since no other shoppers ventured out I had the road and sales to myself.  Slipped on my red Sorels & hit the road.  By the time the day was done, the Ford F250 was filled to the brim with great treasure & then some!

And I purchased this fabulous Chandelier ~ perfect for my Garden Shed.  Every girl needs a Garden Shed adorned with a Chandelier - doesn't she?  

Forgot to mention that my business cards arrived in the mail, son Drew designed.  I was hoping for a title of "Junk Queen" or "Treasure Broker" but he didn't bite. Had a stash with me when I left the house Junkin' and gave them all out, had to restock the next day!

Thanks for checking in & I hope to see you at the next sale!

Enjoy ~ Ruth
