Dollar/Buttons

New recently created and bought buttons.  Please note the price difference.   The price increase shows  how much our dollar has deflated in 2011.

Today I want to tell you that a dollar isn't much as much as it used to be.  There fore it takes a lot more dollars to buy the same sort of items.  While in the antique malls looking for vintage patterns, I also look for vintage buttons with vintage prices.  Above, I have pictures of the buttons then and now. This forces store owners to increase their prices.   The new Holiday buttons will be incorporated into some of my upcoming items.  I am purposely keeping my prices to a minimum as a special gift to my customers.

  1. I just love the Christmas buttons. I'm constantly looking for new buttons for my cards/flowers.

  2. Julia, I got the Christmas buttons at JoAnn's and used their coupons for a discount.
