One of my favourite stalls there is the Button Society's stand, this year as well as joining the Society I made a few more purchases for my collection... I know I have so much to learn about the different manufacturing process, materials etc so if anyone can further advise me please do!

| glass shells |
 |
| this is amazing, I was advised that this is made from rennet mixed with milk solids |
 |
| another glass button, hand painted |

Hey theres a coincidence, I was just looking around your blog and spotted that you were at the Antiques Textile Fair. I was upstairs with my Doodly Bird stall.
Did you say hello to me, one lady said she had seen my birdies on the web.
