Hello Beth
Spangles in that context were small metallic discs incorporated into
embroideries - the modern name is sequin, though nowadays they are made
of metalised polyester.
Try

or google for sequins.
For the reproduction renaissance lace I'm doing (have to restart, but
that's another story), "spangles" were used to embellish the lace.
From the photos I've seen, they look just like the little gold discs
that are used in embroideries from India or Thailand (there are
probably others). Since goldwork emboridery has never been very
common in the U.S., local craft/hobby shops don't stock them. So, do
any of you know of specific sources where I could order them? I did
try a Google search - but "little gold discs" isn't excactly specific
enough. ;-) (I did search "spangles") Since this would probably be
an international order for me, I'd rather order from a known entity -
thus my plea for a recommendation from you.
