Default Store Fixtures

Look up "store fixtures or store displays" we have a local store that supplies the retail market in our area. I have been able to go in and buy whatever I need to display items in my new collection of sewing/quility vintage items. The hooks, holders, hanging tabs, acrylic displays, etc. I also have about 900+ set of S&P shakers on display. With this mild winter, I have been able to open up the guest room windows and work on creating one corner of my sewing santuary at a time. I am considering putting up the white/slatboard walls next.

I'm talking about those little hanger push in metal do higgies. Ya know, those things your hubbies hoard and cherish!
So after much moola speant, I am still finding space on my new big white super dooper hanger pegboard thingy. Alas, I a running short on those little metal creatures and am devising a way to get much more online. There is something strange in some of those packets, I must warn y'all. They are small and black and look like little BATS! I guess they are suppose to permanently hold the metal thingys to their proper perspective holes. But I am only at the beginning of my organizational journey and want nothing to to with those batty things, I even refuse to read their directions. They are captured in a ziplock bag and now are hanging on their own little metal do-jobber, encased in an airtight prison, until called out for duty.
So, has anyone else been through this fun dilemma? Any and all advice is welcomed! (not bat jokes, please...lol)
