While waiting in one of the longest thrift store lines ever today, I decided to take a little detour to the craft section. Found a $4.99 craft jewelry jar ($2.49 with 50% off). Not much to say of - any opinions on the ring and broken pin attached (pin tested and def not gold).

I've bought buttons from this store before thinking they might sell well in eBay as a craft lot. They sell bag lots for $1.49 each (full your own). Bag size varies depending upon who is working. Today, nothing to lose at 50% off. Bought the remainder (pictured) for $2.72.

So, this got me to thinking. I know that some buttons can be valuable (historical or otherwise).....so, spread your wisdom on me oh knowledgable ones!!!!

I'll have to do this in stages - just lost an entire post for some reason. I would hate to see that happen again.

Bag lot from a few weeks ago - paid $1.49.

I'll add some close ups of the open contents.
