Ive revived this thread at the request of several members ...

As some of these buttons were snaffled on the first go, please click on the pic that interwsys you and click the I for info to see details, price and if they are still available

So here you go Folks, A blast from the past ....

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Malaising the day away, unable to get started on the almost finished Quilt (WHY???)
I suddenly, for no reason thought of my long ignored button box and the delights held within!

When i used to be a get up and goer I had a (very, very) small concern making waistcoats to fit anybody and everybody and I  (ahem!) accrued a great many glorious buttons...
that since have laid quietly in the Button box...Until now!

I am now offering these buttons for sale at the prices I paid(ish) in the '90's.

There may be the perfect button for you, a twin to the one lost on your favourite outfit or just something darling that you couldn't bear not to have ....

Whatever, I am open to reasonable offers on multiples and all prices include 1st class postage!

so step inside ........

Oh you girls would have laughed yourselves silly seeing me attempt to get to the button box ... The sewing room is still very much in .. ahem ... progress , which of course means the Spare/art/sewing room that was is inundated with 'stuff' ...

So please try to imagine me trying to stretch my small legs over piles and piles of stuff to reach my button box without causing catastrophic landslides of fabric, boxes, threads ... but I did  ...

I have received my beeautiful buttons already and what a lovely package they made! Wonderfully mounted on a fabric patch (? correct term) . I will feel guilty cutting them off. I have a jacket nearly finished for 3 of them though. I can recommend this button seller whole- heartedly!

I sewed them onto a very old ... Think University age ... orphan block I had kicking around, nicer than receiving them clunking around in a paper bag!

Enjoy!
