Button, button
I am discovering buttons in a big way. I got a part time job in a the best
fabric store in Chch and the button wall is right next to the area where I work. Today I brought home some real beauties. Rather expensive (one enamelled leaf button was $2.25) but imo worth it. So basically, I'm doomed, with yet another addiction to add to the list! -- Marisa (AU/NZ) http://www.galleryvittoria.com "I am NOT a floozy! I am a goddess..I can do what I like!", said Venus.

So basically, I'm
doomed, with yet another addiction to add to the list! And what are you going to make with them Marisa? Or is it one of those addictions where you just hoard them and fondle them periodically? ;o) Beki http://www.whimbeads.com |

They are great with beads. As focals, as accents, and as clasps.

There is a specialty store here in Austin that has very expensive hand dyed
fabric and other to die for fabric. In addition they have the most fabulous buttons I've ever seen. Some of the ones I've purchased were in the $10 each range. Pretty buttons are well worth it, IMO.

I also sew my own clothes quite a bit, so a few buttons are always kicking around...now I'll just have a few more! -- Marisa (AU/NZ) http://www.galleryvittoria.com "I am NOT a floozy!

I really do hate to tempt you, Marisa, but...
I have three styles of shank buttons listed now in the TierraCast section. In antiqued silver and antiqued gold. Just thought you'd like to know... =) Mj -- ================================= Marjean Cline Halsey Trading Company eBay ID: ladymorgause http://www.stores.ebay.com/id=1146230?refid=store http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ladymor gause ================================= "Marisa Cappetta" wrote in message ... Great ideas..and reasons to buy a few more buttons! My employer buys the nicest buttons I've ever seen. I sold some to a lady yesterday that were faceted black glass with gilded edges. I hope there are some left tomorrow, we're allowed to make our staff purchases first thing in the morning, so I couldn't buy any yesterday, but will snatch them off the shelf first thing tomorrow!
