Subject: [lace] spangles for embroidery or lace

Gentle Spiders,
While you're looking for lianna threads, it got me to thinking that you're
the great resource I need to tap...

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.

Thanks!  One of these days I'll have a photo of something lacey.
