well i posted earlier about buttons and it seems you CrAfTy LaDiEs are loving your buttons!!!!
i have HUNDREDS of buttons looking for new loving homes very reasonable prices and cheap p+p
i have bags of mixed true vintage buttons in brown or black or beige which would look great on those gorgeous fabric owls @ £1.50 for 50 buttons with free p+p
i also have lovely vintage M.O.P. & glass & floral buttons
loads of more modern floral buttons too

is anyone interested?

Whizzz · 15/04/2008 15:55

VV nothing specific, I'm not really sure how I would use them jsut wondered if you had anything 'interesting'

vInTaGeVioLeT · 15/04/2008 18:40

Pixiefish · 15/04/2008 21:28

vInTaGeVioLeT · 15/04/2008 21:45

pixie got your e-mail i'm a bit busy with work this week - but- i will try and send some photo's soon - have you anything in particular in mind?

Pixiefish · 15/04/2008 21:48

i just love using buttons on my scrapbbok pages. I love using bag fulls or just individual ones here and there. Use at least 3 buttons on loads of Layouts.

Pixiefish · 15/04/2008 21:55

i like 'pwetty', cute,

KatyMac · 15/04/2008 22:04

Hi

Have you got any like this??

"Quite big maybe 2-3cms across
Silver/tarnished/distressed metal
With 4 or 2 holes

& I need 26 of them"
Pretty please?

vInTaGeVioLeT · 15/04/2008 22:48

hi Katy - no i don't think i can help you the buttons i have are mainly vintage and so don't come in large quantities - i'll have a look through my stash for you though - do they need to be identical? and would shanked buttons be any good?

vInTaGeVioLeT · 15/04/2008 22:52

ok pixie i'll search through the pile for cutie pwetty buttons - do they need to be very thin and flat for scrapbooking?
ooohhh - i have some of those (non-vintage) american "dress it up" buttons - any good?

Pixiefish · 16/04/2008 07:32

they don't have to be totally flat for scrapbooking Violet. I'm not mad on the dress it up buttons as they are a bit too plasticky for me

2sugars · 16/04/2008 07:38

maxiemummy, am I too late for the mop ones? I'm madamebutterfly at ntlworld dot com. (No spaces.)

vInTaGeVioLeT · 16/04/2008 08:20

2sugars - no you are not too late - what do you want?

i have 50 x vintage mixed size & quality mop @ £4-oo or 25 @ £2-5o - very low on these now

i have vintage un-used perfect quality mop in many pretty colours @ £2-oo per dozen

i don't think i have any cheap shell ones left now but i will look today.

2sugars · 17/04/2008 07:47

Sorry Vin, took the girls to London yesterday.

I would love the 50x bag. Have a look for the shell ones for me - do you have a picture (haven't looked through the whole thread). Would you take a PO as I don't have paypay? Am taking our geriatric springer for a trip to the Post Office today - let me know either by email or on here. Thanks!

vInTaGeVioLeT · 17/04/2008 11:56

hi 2sugars - i'll have a look for the shell ones tonight really busy today[it's my day off so i have to get everything done!]
re: payment i'd prefer a cheque

i'm really not here - housework and shopping etc to do!! [yawn]

2sugars · 18/04/2008 19:40

Would you email me and let me know where/who to send the cheque to? Also, just out of interest and don't answer if you don't want to, but why is a cheque preferable?

vInTaGeVioLeT · 19/04/2008 14:21

i have emailed you - did you get it?

vInTaGeVioLeT · 21/04/2008 18:37

maryann - package is in the post

MargaretMountford · 21/04/2008 18:46

2sugars · 22/04/2008 06:46

Vintage - I did email you and replied - did you get mine? Anyhow, you should get my PO this morning. Thanks.

vInTaGeVioLeT · 22/04/2008 19:17
