Beads, buttons and pretty things

 


We tend to think of beads and buttons purely as adornment for our clothes. However, historically they have symbolised both knowledge and wisdom and have been used as fertility symbols and as currency.  


No longer relegated to the background, wallpaper is enjoying a revival. There are so many beautiful contemporary and traditional wallpapers which can provide a durable and luxurious feature to any room.

Before synthetics such as nylon and polyester were invented, natural fibre fabrics such as cotton, wool, flax and linen were the only choices available. Now with modern production methods we have so much variety and there is so much out there for Beads of Paradise to search out and rescue!!

Any beads or buttons needing a home?


We welcome any donations of  beads, buttons and pretty things. If you live near us we can always come and rescue them and we will even make you a little something special as a thankyou. Please phone or email us about this.
