Re: [h-cost] Buttons
Speaking of buttons; I'm on the lookout for some specific ones and though everyone on here might be able to help. They look sort of like a 4 sided shield button with a tall point in the middle. Here is a little collage I made of them; hopefully you can see the details well enough to get an idea of their shape: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a106/A_Dark_Horse/buttons.jpg Any ideas on where I could get something like that in silver? Thanks!

Search for Norwegian Sweater buttons (or Icelandic, or Scandinavian, etc) here are some: http://www.etsy.com/listing/33522755/4-norwegian-pewter-sweater-buttons-with Denise - I am looking for metal (or metal look) shank buttons, with the motif of snowflakes, holly or stags.

Re: [h-cost] BUTTONS
I've had good luck looking at second hand stores/ thrift stores for Icelandic sweaters, L. L. Bean has had some with metal snowflake buttons. A cheaper alternative than buying new buttons.

Re: [h-cost] BUTTONS
I am looking for metal (or metal look) shank buttons, with the motif of snowflakes, holly or stags. * I bought a bunch of real metal buttons with a stag on them at either Jo Ann's or Hancock but I can't remember because it was a while back. They came on a card of 3 and were heavy mental with shanks. La Mode buttons perhaps? I went to both Jo Ann's and Hancock's web site and did a search but didn't see anything. (their web sites suck!) ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] Buttons
I found some a year or so ago on Ebay. I'm sorry that I can't remember the vendor's name but they were in Hong Kong and the shipping was pretty fast. Prices were outstanding.

Re: [h-cost] Buttons & things colonial
This isn't my period, but I always envisioned a town crier to look a bit like this guy with stockings and buckled shoes: http://www.noquartergiven.net/hamptonbbfestival.htm (about 1/3 down the page) It would certainly be less work than all of those buttonholes on the gaiters. :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings Earthlings, I'm making a 1770's colonial rural town crier. ... And maybe some gaiters. I like the look of all those buttons up the outside calf. But I do also have riding boots... but I'd have to put a cuff on them and I don't know if he wants to fool with boots. Of course all the buttons on the gaiters!

But a waistcoat sans coat? Nope. [Maybe a sleeved one. And that seems a bit old fashioned to me for 1770's. We also discussed a work smock and also a rifle shirt.] He can op to not wear the coat if he chooses. And, in an attempt to make the costume more interesting, I like the idea of gaiters, or riding boots. Making gaiters is less expensive than the right shoes. I really hate those fake buckle thingies! He can also op out of the gaiters if he chooses. I'm giving him a complete outfit. He can wear it the way he wants, I suppose, but I want to do my part correctly. It's for theatre [he's a story teller] however, not a museum, so I'm not doing handmade buttonholes. [I may do all the top stitching by hand though, because that really looks different from machine top stitching. There's also a trick we did on "Interview with the Vampire" where you just quickly do a whip stitch around machine buttonholes... not that close together. It just makes the buttonhole not look so machine-made neat. Still, I've seen hand made buttonholes that are perfect and look like no human hand has touched them.] ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Well, don't that just put yer panties in a bunch? Sorry about having to slog around in the rain. I do hope we get to see pictures of the bridal dress:) Anne -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Suzi Clarke Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 9:31 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Buttons queries - no further need. Hi all those ladies who suggested or helped with suggestions for button sources. The "gentleman" has found someone else to do the job, now I have done a fair amount of time-consuming research, and no longer needs my help. Why couldn't he have done that *before* asking me, and sending me off to get samples etc. in the pouring bloomin' rain when I was already very busy. Grumble... grumble. It doesn't happen often, and the lovley lady whose wedding dress I am busy on, makes up for people like him...almost. Anyway, thanks for your time everyone.
