It’s a strange time for us at Portland Button Works. Our primary business is making custom pinback buttons, but with conventions canceled and gathering discouraged our primary is business is at a complete stand still. On top of the Covid-17 pandemic and a “stay home” order in Portland, we were forced to move out of the warehouse we had called home for 4 years. It’s a shame because we just updated our website and our next focus going to be making our shop as more of a community space. We had such great plans! I guess is sort of good we lost our space because in a few months, paying rent was going to get difficult in this climate. Selling our catalog of items like our pre-made button designs, books, zines, tarot decks and other stuff has always been more of my hobby to be able to sell things I like and it was only about 20% of our business. While it was only 20% of our business, it was a large portion of physical things in our shop, so we had a lot of things to move. In the last week we moved 400 square feet of things from our shop into a 120 square foot spare room in our home, the spare room where I stated making custom button and selling zines over a decade ago. I guess we are now working from home like a lot of people. I know not everyone has spending money right now, but if you do and you have thought about buying some of the books or zines or buttons shown above or anything in our catalog, right now would be a really great time to check out our PBW Witch Shop or even the rest of our catalog of zines, buttons, or other things. Also, we have access to buying books through book trade distribution. If there is a book, witchy or otherwise, that you would like to purchase from a small business and not from Amazon, get in touch. This may take a week to get and it will cost cover price, but we can order any book by a major publisher. If you are in Portland, Oregon we can arrange for a contact-less pick up. If you don’t have any money to spend, hey, neither do we! You can still help us out. You can reblog this post or tell your friends who are looking to get some witchy goods that they should take a look at our shop. Also, if you have ever bought anything from us or even if you have read any of the zines or books we carry or even if you were gifted one of our buttons you can leave reviews of those items on our website and it helps us out. We would appreciate any help you can throw our way, together we can get through this! Here’s a link to the PBW Witch Shop! Added Sigil Witchery to the catalog even though I’m more of a traditional sigil person but I wanted to check it out. I also got this goofy cat tarot back in stock. Got both of these back in stock this week. I often get stuff just because I want to read it. I lurk in the Atheopagan Facebook group and thought this big book would be a good read. I love that it has essays from different voices. Just added these to the catalog this week. I’m trying to get a few things back in stock. That Modern Witch Tarot keeps selling out of printings! FINALLY! I got the Modern Witch Tarot back in stock! Also just got more copies of Southern Cunning. I actually should have gotten more of each. Between you and Abe Books, I just spend a little over $250 on books but I am now perfectly happy and in need of a new bookshelf…… Thank you! We really appreciate it right now! I’m packing orders everyday and having them picked up by our postal carrier and occasionally doing a masked run to the post office. New books! New magnet and pocket mirrors! These Contagion Press Books and Zines are so lovely! I just added them to the catalog. Two new buttons/magnet/mirror designs! -- source link
