A BIG Button Fix

 My pity-party of Internet button shopping continues.  Did you know you can win auctions on your smart phone?  Probably.  I am not so sure that was a good thing for me to learn!
Love, love these GIANT two-piece buttons.  I didn't even realize they were this big when I bid on them.  Wowza!  That is a quarter in the center of the circle and they are in perfect condition.  I need to find a coat I can put these on. 
This is the rest of the new pile.  As soon as I get them sorted out (I love that part!) and cleaned I will show you the treasures.
So, you know how people talk about what they would do if they won the lottery?  Some say they would buy a big house or a new car or jewelry.  I have never really had any big wishes so I always laughed that I would probably just go to K-Mart and buy everything I wanted and it wouldn't even dawn on me that I didn't have to shop at K-Mart any more - LOL!  Well, I know now what I would do.  I would win every single button auction on eBay.  Every.Single.One.  Yes, I will hog all of the buttons so I can live out my days as a reclusive button sorter.  8+)

I'm going to tell my sister-in-law about you. She thinks I'm crazy with all my buttons, but you have TONS more than I do, I'm sure! Aren't they so much fun? I just bought a big bag Saturday for $3, and I was more excited over those than anything else I saw that day. Love those big two-piece ones, and that interesting green one just above them. Oh, and the buckles, too! Have fun sorting!

At first glance I thought those were cookies, but I should know better than that...they do look good enough to eat though. What a jackpot you won! Let me know if you need help sorting them out:-)

Those are very cool buttons. Something wonderful needs to be done with them..jewely, framed, hung on a ribbon, I don't know. Of course that is after you have cleaned and sorted the rest of the loot.

Lol! You made me laugh and I so needed that! I also thought the buttons were cookies! My goodness but they are huge. Can't wait to see what you find in the big pile.

Note to self: stay away from any and all button auctions on eBay - it's a fruitless endeavour since Kathy will ultimately outbid you anyway ;)

Lovely collection Kathy!!!

I love to sort through a pile of newly purchased buttons! You could fill the bathtub in nothing but buttons and take a bath!
