Oooooooooh! Thank you thank you thank

I AM
in London, at least during weekdays, so I will head over there one lunchtime and
be a VERY happy bunny!
If
anyone wants me to check anything for them while I am in the shop, give me a
shout.
Happy

They do a very large range of metallics - imitation, copper, silver plated, gilt, 2% gold, 90% silver - in all varieties; purls and bullions, plates, roccoco, gimps, and if your budget allows, they can specially make threads. (Soper Lane had them make gold thread wrapped on silk a couple of years back).
They also do spangles and other items.
They do have a minimum order for mail order - in 2001 it was �25.00 for UK, �50.00 for overseas.
Of course, if you are in London, I'm told their shop is wonderful, and filled with all sorts of wonderful shiny things not normally available through mail order!
