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?

yes - i have some nice seed beads - lots of different colours.Loads of wooden beads and some really nice millefiorri beads too - may have some sequins but only basic ones

i thought of you today when a massive bag of mother of pearl buttons arrived! they are small 4-hole ones i imagine they're shirt buttons - sweet.

MargaretMountford · 24/04/2008 22:36

ooh, do you have any pictures of beads and how much might they be ?

Vintage, I'm so sorry I haven't responded before ....

Your buttons turned up the day after you received my PO, and they're wonderful!!!!

You turned it round so quickly! My dds were so delighted with the little card you included, that I've lost the place where I need to post feedback. Please direct me - cos everything was fab!

I luuuuurve the shell buttons btw. You said 'You get what you pay for' of these - and I'd like some more, if you have them! No idea what I'm going to do with them, but they are so, so lovely. Thanks a lot!

vInTaGeVioLeT · 26/04/2008 16:07

hi 2sugars i'm really glad you liked them all!
Unfortunately all the shell ones are gone now - you can find them easily on eBay they come from china - i sold mine at cost as i was disapointed with the quality, i'd bought them as "vintage" and bought 500 but there were quite alot broken or mishaped or just white not pearly - the uk seller was horrible and is the reason for my single negative feedback [grrr] as i dared criticize their customer service!

feedback was just on this thread which you've done - thankyou!!

very very soon i'm opening an online shop

Vintage, my mum's a bit of a 'button queen'. When dds were younger, it was her mission - after she'd knitted them stuff- to find the perfect button for the cardi/whatever.

Her favourite place is 'Button Queen', just off Marylebone High Street. She took me there last Monday - it's wonderful. Anyhow, to cut a long story short, she saw the buttons you sent me - on Thursday - and said '2s, you'd never get these at that price in London'. AND she knew her MOPs from her shells!

You have the world waiting for you!

dizzyday07 · 26/04/2008 19:03

vInTaGeVioLeT · 26/04/2008 21:20

vInTaGeVioLeT · 26/04/2008 21:21

dizzyday07 · 26/04/2008 21:39

Probably plastic ones would be best but a few of the MOP might be good to have in stock too!!

MargaretMountford · 11/05/2008 14:45
