The buttons from the necklace I posted last week came from the single best deal I've ever gotten on vintage buttons. Here's another made from buttons from the same lot:
Available here.
It was at a yard sale, and the guy selling them had sorted them into jars by color and clearly knew they were of value, but some jars had a horrifically foul-smelling mold in them, so he gave me a price cut on all of them if I was willing to clean them myself. It turned out that only one jar had the mold, and the smell in the others was merely the natural consequence of putting lots and lots of Lucite in an airtight glass jar for a couple of months (Lucite stinks a little; it contains some kind of acid whose name escapes me at the moment). I scrubbed them all with toothbrushes and buried them all in coffee grounds, and only ended up losing the one jar; the rest smell just fine, and there wasn't a single junk button. All primo vintage stock.
Consequently, I can afford to do a special offer on stuff from that lot. So here it is. Buy two items, at least one containing buttons (look here), and get 20% off on the lower-priced item when you check out with the code "Lucite always kinda smells if you seal it in a glass jar for a month." Spelling doesn't count. Add the code to the Note to Seller when you buy and I'll give you the discount within 24 hours through PayPal. Offer lasts until11:59 PM on September 30.
