jo and i went shopping the whole of friday and saturday morning to find things for our ‘Hello Fox’ range that we are making  up for our friend’s charity market day that she is having on the 6th of dec – click here to find out more. we are making loads of cool earring, rings and brooches, as well as felt creatures and we’ll have cool sunglasses for sale. so if you’re not doing anything on the 6th of december and fancy buying some stuff, come and see us. (i’ll post the goods up closer to the time)
anyway…we found this awesome button shop that had a bunch of old stock lying around in boxes, ready to be thrown out. i totally bought a few things for my ever-growing magpie collection. look how awesome the the tennis patches are! wow. also found some cool vintage & novelty buttons and some needle kits, one for if you’re a farmer, one for if you’re a flower picker and one for if you’re a lady who has lady friends. nice.

and look what i found in a  box of about 5000 buttons! it was the only one! i know this because jo and i sifted through the whole lot, on a desperate mission to find another one. it didn’t happen, but we’re going back for a second round.
