I just started searching through all the wonderful buttons available and oh my gosh actually found the perfect buttons!
Are they not the most perfect color for my cardigan???
Until I realized they were $3 per button. Ok, maybe I can swing that. And then I saw it was from an Australian store. Frickin-A there goes that idea. $12 for buttons (I'd use 1 less since they're bigger than the buttons called for) is already a stretch for me but then add on international shipping? I don't think that's such a good idea given my employment situation these days. What do you guys think??
*PS* Don't forget to enter my birthday giveaway!
I think the AUD to USD conversion would be more like $3.50 per button, but shipping could be high. Do you ever go to thrift shops? You might find some buttons, or maybe on a cardi with buttons you could use. Could cost about $3.00 for all the buttons instead of for just one.
ReplyDeleteHmm I never thought about the thrift shops. I go to the Brooklyn Flea often and check the (so called) vintage buttons there but they're always way overpriced and usually not the color/style I want. And usually only 2-3 buttons (not enough). What I really should do is explore the NYC fashion district but I usually don't go that far uptown. Might make an exception though.
