Current Mood : Slightly miffed.
Got the buttons today – but I
can’t quite recommend the sellers yet. They’re certainly tiny, and most are
useable (more later), but they sent the ‘Bright Mix’ instead of the colors I
requested. Double-checked the ad, and yes, it does say I can request the other colors
pictured. Plus, I listed what I wanted on both the Etsy order form and my
PayPal payment page, so it isn’t my fault they didn’t read either part of my
order. I’ve contacted them with two options – I’ll keep the Bright Mix,
and if they can send what I requested, I’ll
be glad to pay what I did for them, but if they can’t, I’ll send these back for
a refund. No response, of course.
(grin) It’s also another of
those ‘Pay $2. for shipping, get a standard-size recycled bill envelope with
70c postage on it’ deals. Three buttons got so smashed in transit – no cushioning,
just a little packet wrapped in a single sheet of copy paper – they were stuck to
the pouch and had to be poked off with a pencil. Most of the buttons are quite
nice, if not the most useable colors, but about a fifth of them will have to
have the holes re-drilled with a hot needle or something. Some still have flash
from the mold on them.
We’ll see what they do with
my color problem before I review further, or put their name out. I can’t use
them until they tell me what’s going on, so for now, they’re just sitting around.
Glad I got the Barbie ones to play with for now.
Got to sew a bit, and on a
whim, decided to merge the other two colors of lame’ boucle knit for Lagoona’ s
new blue and silver dress ! Now I really want the other colors, so I can go all
out blending ! And wouldn’t Cleo look gorgeous in a gold one ?
