Mary Diamond Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 Good Afternoon ~ Yes, Capt Bo, I saw your post... though I admit I hoped you were joking about leaving us (not because of your button order), so I waited to reply. I am glad you are still here, and no, the order is not placed yet (lack of immediate funds). Jack, thank you for your order, you are added. Though, I am not sure when I will have the funds to place the order ~ I may have to request payment in advance this time. Silkie ~ sorry, no, no pewter buttons yet. However, necessity demanded I come up with the cost effective solution (for my own need) ~ so I buffed off (ok, sanded, I was being lazy, but wanted to see how it might look) the brass plate, revealing the silver zinc base metal. Not too shabby! As zinc is commonly used for galvanizing, I hope this solution with not have any disagreeable side effects to the clothes I am using them for. I will report back when I know more. Oooh, shiny!
Sjöröveren Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I want to get in line for 100 on the next order, whenever that may be. Soon, I hope. the Fool's Gold Pirates
Mary Diamond Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 I have added you to the list, Sjoroveren ~ 'Tis hard times, mates. I am barely making ends meet at the moment, so cannot afford to front the cost, and will require payment up front to expedite this order. I will send out PMs to those who have expressed interest later, covering the details. Any additional persons who are interested ~ now is the time to speak up! YHS, Mary Diamond Oooh, shiny!
michaelsbagley Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I think I might require another one or two hundred...
Mary Diamond Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 Ahoy, good mates ~ I am back online, after long delay (flooding, most recently, setting us back). I have received word as of last week that a sum of buttons are available, and I am prepared to officially take your orders at this time. Payment in form of a personal check is requested in advance for this order. This will most likely be the last order I will fulfill, as the future minimum order will be 3,000 buttons. Persons who have expressed interest above will be receiving an e-mail to confirm, and provide contact information. Please let me know if you have any questions. YHS, Mary Diamond Oooh, shiny!
Mary Diamond Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 refresh m' mind the cost of the buttons Price is still $0.30 per button, however, I may already be sold out, depending on the response I have from those who have previously expressed interest. Shall I add your name to the waiting list, in case there are extra available? Oooh, shiny!
Mary Diamond Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 Good Morning, All ~ The buttons shipment arrived yesterday. I will be preparing orders over the weekend, for shipment when payment is received. Please note: This is most likely the LAST CALL for buttons. Future order requirements have skyrocketed, and, while I am happy to provide this service to the Pub, I cannot put out that much capital. Once these buttons are gone, I do not expect to get any more in the near future. As always, I remain YHS, Mary Diamond Oooh, shiny!
Iron Jon Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I sent you my payment for 150 buttons by PayPal... hopefully it's enough and you received it OK!

Mary Diamond Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 Callenish ~ duly noted, I will send you a PM with details. Iron Jon ~ yes, Thank You, payment received, buttons will go out within the next 3 days, if that is OK. Oooh, shiny!
Mary Diamond Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 I want to get in line for 100 on the next order, whenever that may be. Soon, I hope. Ahoy, Sjorovoren! I have attempted contact, with no luck ~ please PM me if you are still interested in the buttons. YHS, Mary Diamond Oooh, shiny!
silas thatcher Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 mary--- finally got the check in the mail... let me know when you get it :)
Sjöröveren Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 sorry for the non-communication. I just sent you an email confirming my interest. the Fool's Gold Pirates
callenish gunner Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Mary, I got several emails that were supposed t have been sent to Iron Jon ....
Mary Diamond Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 Mary, I got several emails that were supposed t have been sent to Iron Jon .... OH! I am sorry, I didn't know your common name ~ your and Iron Jon's family names are almost identical, and the e-mail you sent wasn't signed. Now I know... I am waiting for payments, and won't know how many buttons I have left until after the initial orders are paid for. I thought I might have seen more checks by now, but I have only received 4 of the 10, so it may be a bit before I know. I am sorry I can't give you a more definite answer. YHS, Mary Diamond Oooh, shiny!
silas thatcher Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 my second check is on it's way.... shoulda been there by now ??? but... package recieved :) thanks again, mary !!
Mary Diamond Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 my second check is on it's way.... shoulda been there by now ??? but... package recieved :) thanks again, mary !! Silas, dear, you are considered one of the 4 who have paid ~ Just a little misunderstanding on the name it should be made to... not uncommon! I haven't received the second check yet, but imagine it will be here today or Monday. Oooh, shiny!
Mary Diamond Posted August 8 Author Posted August 8 Once again I am looking to bring in another stock of buttons. Luckily, though the original manufacturer in Italy sold the button mold, my distributor was able to track it down at its new Italian factory location. Minimum order has shot up to 10 gross (1440 buttons) for the Dutch Gold 18mm buttons - we are more than halfway there with existing orders. Buttons are priced at $0.50 each. If you have searched/bought buttons lately you know it’s hard to find cast buttons that aren’t more than $1 each. There is a 3-4 week lead time to get them and we have to get close to the minimum order. These are not brass but they are cast metal and very sturdy, and are the same buttons as sold previously at Key West and other events. Please reach out ASAP if interested. Oooh, shiny!

I've already committed to 50 (I think), what's the status of this order?
madPete Posted August 23 Posted August 23 There's an issue with the supplier for these specific buttons. waiting to hear back from them. Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Mary Diamond Posted September 17 Author Posted September 17 Due to the skyrocketing cost of raw materials, this order will not be placed. I have requested to be contacted if anything changes to bring the prices back down. Oooh, shiny!
