Do you have a box of Buttons? Then this swap won't cost you anything but postage. : )

Hi. This is my first time to organize a swap here.
So I hope it goes smoothly. : < )
I don't know if this is a regular swap or not (I'm a bit new here) but if it is then let's just treat it as a spin off of it.
It is coming up fairly quickly, July 9 and will end July 18. Hopefully this will give you enough time. If you are like me I have LOTS of buttons just hanging around waiting to be used.

Rules:

  • 4.5 rating
  • You might want to make one of the sets a decorative, FUN button.... Like a flower or snowmen etc. Or make all of them decorative! But at least one set.

* 1 Partner

  • Plz send buttons that YOU would want to recieve.
    (don't send your rejects)wink

We will be sending our partner 3 sets of 3 or more buttons.
That means at least three buttons on a card. Some cards come with 4, 5, and even 6 or 8 buttons to a card. That card type only counts as ONE SET. You need THREE SETS for your partner. You can use LOOSE buttons but be sure there are at least three MATCHING buttons to each set. They do not HAVE to be on a card, just matching.
Also, indicate if these buttons are for decoration only. I make Polymer Clay buttons and I'm not sure they can go thru the wash so I would be marking them as such. Some jeweled type buttons are also handwash only.

  • Try to send them out BEFORE the END date so that the partner will GET them BY the end date. thx

If you have questions feel free to ask.

OK.... Are ya ready to swap?

PS....

Don't forget to RATE your partner! wink

Hi, it should be only buttons on cards? In the Netherlands it is very difficult to find buttons on a card , but I do have a lot loose ones if that is okay than I like to join if I may

Kind regards Martha

Martha: I would love to have loose buttons! It is always fun to get sets, but if you get me as a partner, I am not so particular about cards.

I do have to admit, my favorite button set in my VAST and HUGE collection is a set of vintage shirt buttons from Canada (do all great vintage buttons retire to Canada? I have gotten such beautiful buttons from Canada). The card is printed with a handsome man in his Oxford shirt, and the buttons are sewn to the card just where they would appear -- down the front, on the cuffs and at the collar! It's about late 1940's, early 1950's. My favorite! Thank you, Hamilton, Canada!

Hi Ladies...

They do not have to be on cards. But should match to some degree. ; )

Have fun. TR
