Okay i stopped saying wow after like 5 mins in this place. Pants and i came to this place called Hammond in town. It is button heaven, i went into a button coma, i couldn’t even speak. We were there for a few hours and it felt like 5 minutes. Some of the most amazing buttons you have ever seen. We walked out with one huge bag full of old vintage buttons, old button cards and awesome glass buttons. Yikes i can’t wait to go back again we didn’t even go through a quarter of the stash they have in there. Pants and i want to share the button love look at the next post to see what you can win.
