:lol: All packages have gone out! ;)

William Red Wake, Captain Grey, Clay and Michael S Bagsley ~ Keep an eye on the post ~ not very fashionable, but my recycled wrapping paper tube packages are in keeping with the original cost-effective intent! ;)

Silkie, your combined package weighed much more, so it went in a box.

Bonnie, yours was smaller, so a bubble mailer for you.

Willie Wobble - waiting for your final quantity and mailing address.

E-mails are next, with final cost including shipping. Thank you everyone!

They look good.

I can post some pictures of 18th Century Buttons from my collection as a reference for those interested.

IMHO its a nice, plain simple button that is probably better than, and cheaper than most alternatives.

Kudos for putting together the project!

My buttons arrived the other day and I like them very much. They are very sturdy and of a good quality. Uniform in size and shape and I even like the patina. I believe that they will look most striking on my new coat.

If I had but one complaint, it would be that they are almost too uniform. Call me a perfectionist, but in reenacting, sometimes imperfection is perfection. I'll just be forced to scratch them up a bit by attending some 5,000 events or more. Woe is me, eh?

Wonderful stuff. I highly recommend the buttons and I'm now wondering if 130 is enough.

This is in a small way to help Rumba... But also out of self interest...

Hey Mary!!! Do you still have any of those buttons for sale? I am thinking I would like another batch or two... And perhaps Rumba may consider them too if the look like they will suit her needs.

Good Evening!

I do indeed have a quantity of buttons left, though I need to count for accuracy and to determine if I have enough to fulfill your requests. Interested persons, please contact me via e-mail with quantity required.

YHS,

Good Evening!

First, please accept my apologies, Rumba ~ I do indeed leave my PM folder full, as I receive too many inquiries and transactions to manage with my poor little overworked pyracy.com box.

Now, then, to the business at hand ~ I have located and counted all the buttons I have remaining.

By dipping into my personal stash a bit, I can just fulfill the orders for Michael Bagley, Rumba, Count de Monet and Oderlesseye ~ and am now Sold Out!

Thank you all for your patronage. I do hope everyone who had an interest has received the quantity of buttons they needed. Should there be sufficient demand in the near future, I can consider placing a second bulk order with the Italian warehouse.

YHS,

Mary Diamond

Your Attention, Please, Ladies and Gentlemen ~

The Opportunity to Bulk Purchase (a minimum order of 1400 pieces is required) the reasonably-priced Italian Buttons has presented itself again ~ I have received numerous inquiries in the past regarding these buttons, and am willing to arrange for this shipment if sufficient quantities are requested.

ALL Interested Persons Should E-MAIL myself immediately. As this shipment comes from Italy, the order needs to be placed within the week to ensure arrival for those attending Pirate's in Paradise.

Please note: Due to increased metal and shipping costs, the Button price has increased from $0.25 per button to $0.30 per button over the past year.

As ever, I remain,

Your Humble Servant,

Mary Diamond

Bump...

Okay folks, I have bought 200 of these buttons in the past, and I have used them all (I literally used the last ones yesterday), and I would VERY much like to order more... But of course that depends on others being interested, as I can only commit to another 200 at this point (although I am seriously wishing I could commit to more)...

Why should you want any? Other than to help me get some more of these? :D Well I have been shopping vigourously for another source of period correct brass buttons, and the cheapest I have been able to find is for 85 cents each!!! The mere 30 cents a piece Mary Diamond is selling these for is an AWESOME deal, for FANTASTIC buttons!!! So come on folks, I am sure there are more here that are interested!!! Please! Pretty please with sugar on top? ;)

This has been a selfish and shameless plug for someone else's goods. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Thank you most kindly for the bump, Michael ~ and thank you as well, Oderlesseye, for your interest.

Indeed, we shall need a fair number of orders before I can commit to the Large Investment required. All interested parties are heartily encouraged to speak up ~ keep in mind it will take up to a month to recieve these from the manufacturer in Italy.

YHS,

Mary Diamond

I was thinking about replacing the buttons on my coat, I think I might just be able to do it now. Those would lookk great against the blue of the coat I think. I just need to find out how many I'll need, for that and other projects.

Edit added, put me down for 50. May need more in the future but its a start.
