National Button Society Annual Convention by lionandunicorn

Appleton, Wisconsin USA

The National Button Society Annual convention is almost here, and so is the annual fundraiser auction. Perhaps you have already heard that the NBS and Lion And Unicorn Auction House has partnered, and as their donation, Lion And Unicorn has agreed to host a virtual catalog online, so that those unable to attend the live auction in person, can place absentee or phone bids on these fabulous buttons, and support the NBS. There are 149 Items to be sold including 2 Quilts, one made by Button Bytes leader Ronnie Wexler. There are also 2 charmstrings, button jewelry, books and more.

The Auction committee - Chairman - Gina Kohn, Christy Mecey and Bruce Beck along with the NBS board of Directors thank you for your considered support.

If you see something you would like to bid on please call or email:

Bruce Beck

p: 262-389-0156

e: bruce@lionandunicorn.com

Gina Kohn

p: 316-305-1482

e: ggkohn@sbcglobal.net

They will assist you in placing your bids. You can choose either to place absentee bids with your maximum bid, and someone will bid for you as if you were there, up to your maximum or you may request a phone bid, which means you will be called a couple lots before the item comes up, and be able to bid as if you are present at the auction.
