    They have a lot of craft stuff, but also lots of buttons. If you're looking for a special one, try phoning or emailing. The owner knows EVERYTHING about buttons!

    If you can't get an exact match, buy two contrasting ones and position them at the top two holes...

    Can't see the pics I'm afraid, but I bought a coat from a charity shop and didn't like the buttons, so I had a rummage in their button tin (they had one!:)) and found enough of one sort that I liked and replaced them all! So, try your local CS, or even boot sale, for a full set.

    ask in charity shops! they often have a 'button box'! or rummage in the clothes - the few pounds they ask for an item is a bargain compared to the new price of 'special buttons'! I have seen large buttons on sale in er sharws for over a pound each!
