bags of buttons....anyone use them alot

[taytotayto]

id like to get my hands on some bags of buttons. anyone know of somewhere online that doesnt charge the earth for P&P. or any shops selling them in the yorkshire area?
thanks x

I've had some bags of buttons from this ebay seller SarahLovesCraft and thought they were ok value, P&P being about 80p I think though I guess that is still high for a bag that only costs £1.80, I've been pleased with them though.

(I've name changed, but its me, we met at the market )

now then, CHANDELERIA !!!!!! i was actually going to email you and ask but i thought you would think i was so needy!!!! lol. i have found a really good on line shop but the p&p is shocking.
thanks for the link by the way.

I'm a serial namechanger I'm afraid, I get bored! Next time I change I'll send you a nudge-nudge-wink-wink private message so you know its me!

have a look in charity shops; I've just been scouring ours and found a few bags of them err... bagged up and for not very much money. Some beauties in included in them too...diamante and some milky glass ones

the website called fantastic Ribbons do bags of button, 3 bags for £10. from memory, postage was ok

Our local charity shops charge 1p-5p for single buttons, they often have jars full of them. It's also worth asking them if you don't see any, many keep them undercounter for some reason. One had a bag full come in and thought there was no point selling them so they were heading into the bin, they then said £1, but gave them a bit more than this to be fair.

I've also had some tins off eBay, but I search for local ones only, won't travel miles out of my way, but have picked up a few bargains. P&P will be high as they are quite heavy, that's why I have a local search saved to ping when a new one is listed.

It's also worth mentioning that you are collecting up old buttons [and ribbons] to colleagues. I had lots arrive on my desk after an unusual conversation about what things we stash and can't let go. So many people kept the ones off clothes and had no use for them. They all think I am weird. But then again they love housework... and I don't.
