Use it or lose it! A sharing and caring gift-along

Does anyone have a stash of buttons they’d be willing to share some of? I’m looking for some circular shaped buttons in bright/fun colors (I have plenty of black and browns) between 1/2"-3/4" in diameter (slightly bigger is ok, but not bigger than 1") with 2 or 4 holes. Any patterns, texture, or thickness but mainly opaque.

Edited to add - I should have said any color/shade that isn’t black. Not just super bright colors.

I have some (not like @AIMR lol). I have your address. I will tape a handful into a card and get in the mail for you tomorrow. I’ll try to send a variety of colors - I know I have a lot in shades of pink/reds.

Yes! And I spy white which I also somehow don’t have any of. I’d love some if you’d like to share :slight_smile:

@susieoregon perfect, thank you!

I’m going to edit my original post to say “any color/shade that isn’t black” because that’s actually what I meant :slight_smile:

I sent some out today. I hope the words will work for what you need; suddenly everything seemed to have what felt like small titles/headlines :laughing:. But that’s probably me overthinking.

I missed your request.
AIMR is already sending you buttons. Will you need more? And are you not in a hurry?
I could send you a lot of buttons (I’m in Belgium).
Just let me know if you want them.

Hello Dear people,
I am trying to free up some space here, so made a few pictures for you, I hope someone can use something out of these stuff.
Please note that I am living in Hungary (Europe), so you won’t get these quickly, probably it takes about 5-6 working days. Feel free to ask more things at once - to save some shipping cost for me :slight_smile: (I am also feeling bad to ask only 1-2 things from you guys, since I know the prices… :frowning: )

colored brass wires:

darker wooden medals, there is a small hole on them. Good for painting: - CLAIMED

small wooden circles: - CLAIMED

Polymer clay jewelries, I have made these ages ago. Never used, never sold any of them. I used very simple brass accessories for them, so keep in mind if you are allergic. - CLAIMED

Some lace … choose by color please. The white and black ones are at least 30 years old, I’ve got them from my mom’s stash… :slight_smile: -

the brown ones were claimed





Mini crocheted flowers (made by my mom) - 2 color tones, but would be good to send all of them in one pack :): - CLAIMED

A black bracelet (I don’t even know what it is …)


And a few buttons, which are a kind of enamel ones. I think they are pretty, but those colorful things are coming out, so you need to something with them if you want to use. (they are very heavy anyway… I have a lot of styles, 5-6 from each):


that’s it for now… :slight_smile:

I am looking for:

  • things for my Cricut machine (colored papers, vinyl, pens, mats, foils, sticker papers, iron-ons, etc…) - any scraps would be beneficat, we do not have Mistery Box here, so I have to pay a ton to try out something
  • Sizzix cutting or embossing templates
  • Sharpies (any color set, or even just a few - we do not have it in Hungary
  • coffee related things (fabrics, stickers, postcards, or whatever)
  • Anything with Pooh & his relatives :slight_smile: - my smaller son is a fan
  • Anyting LOTRO/Hobbit & Harry Potter. We have translated names/things in HP, so would prefer things without too many text
  • Starbucks things (esp. reusable thumblers, cups)…

Do you still have those journal/sticker things (meaning the pencils/pens, stickers, a/5 books? I would love to have them, if you don’t mind. Also, any type of washi tape, we have only very simple ones here.

I just opened the sweetest “thank you” card from @HeroicHatchling’s daughter :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I sent her some cards and stickers. Check this out! I love all the illustrations :heart:

Hi all,

Before I go and purchase some, does anyone has white iron-on interfacing in their stash they they want rid of?

The lady I shop for bought me some quilting squares but they are a bit thin so I thought I’d shore them up a bit with interfacing before making with them (or leaving them in stash for ages until my mojo re-surfaces!)
