Mary Diamond Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 As promised, a pic of the buttons ~ showing shank detail. Color of buttons is antique brass, very similar to "antiqued" kitchen drawer pulls. Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Diamond Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 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! Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman of Fortune Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 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!

Mary Diamond Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Blessings from above! Thank you, GoF ~ I love your site, and appreciate your comments.

Silkie McDonough Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Got my buttons today. WOW! They are very nice, well made, sturdy, good looking too! Couldn't ask for more ...well I can't I have all that I need already but I understand Miss Diamond has more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 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. Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelsbagley Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Diamond Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 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, Mary Diamond Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I tried to PM you, but kept getting an error message..... Try PMing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hey Rumba, Use the "email" function rather than the "PM" function. Mary Diamond rarely responds to "PM"s which is why she specifies to "email" her in all business transactions... Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Diamond Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 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 Oooh, shiny!

Mary Diamond Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 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 Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 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? 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.

Mary Diamond Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 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 Oooh, shiny!

Capt Grey Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'll take 100, lassie. They are indeed the best buttons I've ever found. :) Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellfirehannah Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited December 6, 2008 by hellfirehannah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Diamond Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Thank you all for your interest ~ just a bit more, and I think I may have enough for a half order. I will make some calls later this week to determine additional interest. Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
