Bodgers Buttons!





I wanted some new wood slice buttons and discovered The Lancashire Bodgers Group who were really helpful,interested in what I do and so knowledgeable about wood. these are the first to arrive from 'Willy Acorn' beautiful Cherry and Holly will sit so well on the Herdwick/Lonk tweed bags and I'm hoping for more from all sorts of wood.Many thanks to The Lancashire Bodgers!
