I am a HUGE FOOF-A-LA button fan...matter of fact I am considering bringing in their bags to the store.

I like Basic Grey's buttons alot!

oh man I just love foofala buttons, before we moved back to ny from MN I bought up a bunch cause I knew that I have nothing for a LSS but that supply is getting down there and other then that most of my buttons come from a few kits, a few basic grey and a huge huge amt of vintage buttons! I got at garage sales and also antique stores.

I confess I am a button freak

What brand button don't i have would be a better question Embarassed

I usually try to find vintage ones by the jar full! I was on the Rusty Pickle DT and I got lots and lots that way. I so love buttons!! I also will buy some carded buttons from Joanns when they have a big sale, usually just special ones. And I get some from Tessa Ann once in a while too.

One of the best places I have found is going to thrift shops. They have tons, and I get a huge bag for $1.00.

I have WAY too many buttons!! lol I've collected them from all over the place. Thrift shops, craft stores, my grandmother.. you name it! I'm pretty certain I have enough to last me all of my crafting life lol.

Love them all!! I even swipe then from old clothes...LOL!!

Lately I use Papertrey Ink and I love Basic Grey and SEI.

I love them all. I buy all kinds and often mix them together. But I am loving the mixed jars that PTI has, but I also have all the other colors. I currently have 70 little jars with buttons and trying to keep it at that. The best part is I actually use them, compared to some of my other supplies.

Oh I so want some CLEAR buttons... I am on my last bag of them and I am sad.. lol

ppl send me buttons or get them from the lss lol

I'm so cheap. I love all the fun colours of the manufacturer buttons, but I buy bulk at Walmart usually. 3 bucks for a pound.
AND I do find some good coloured ones at the thrift store every so often Smile

I do the thrift shop and also when they have $1.00 bag days I'll put a bunch of mens shirts that have cool buttons, cut off the buttons and use the shirts for shop rags.

I am an old clothes swiper too. Most of my buttons have come from jars of vintage that I have stumbled upon at garage sales and other places.

I get em where ever I can find them! Sometimes I can snag them at thrift stores!

A couple of years ago after my husbands grandma died we were going through her house and sorting things. I found huge stash of buttons that she had been collecting over the years. They are great and I am sure I will never have to buy buttons again!

oh man I am a Foofala fan too! I have four bags I bought recently and feel like I need more! Can you ever have too many buttons?

My only thing is that I seem to have used all my medium sized buttons up and now I have either super small or super large.
