                <description>Pearls &amp; Roses – vintage haberdashery with a storyWelcome to Pearls &amp; Roses, a personal online shop offering private sales of vintage and antique haberdashery, buttons, craft materials, embroidery threads, sewing accessories and old shop stock.

NO SALES FROM HOME AND NO PHYSICAL SHOPPearls &amp; Roses is an online-only shop. There is no physical shop and no open sales address. Collection from my home is only possible when this has been agreed in advance.

Old stock, new purposeMany of the items come from old shop stock, clearance lots, private collections, studios, market stalls and haberdashery shops that have closed down. Some are the last remaining examples of designs that have not been produced for decades.

I think it is a shame to see beautiful and useful materials disappear when they still have so much creativity left in them. So here they get a second chance.

“What is beautiful should be preserved.”The website is a little like treasure hunting – only neatly organised by category. Take your time browsing and who knows, you may find something you didn&#039;t even know you were looking for.

Private salesThe items are sold privately from my own old stock, collections and personal belongings. This is not a regular commercial retail business.

Sales are subject to the private sales terms and conditions, rather than standard professional online-shop terms and conditions.

Shipping abroadPlease contact me before placing your order to ask about the shipping costs.

Shipping costs depend on the size and weight of your order and on the available shipping method.

If you prefer to place your order directly, you can select “Collection from location” at checkout instead of a shipping option. Your order will not automatically be treated as a collection: the actual shipping costs will be calculated afterwards and you will be informed of the additional amount still to be paid.

This allows me to find the most economical shipping option for your particular order.

The Nederlands KnopenarchiefThe Nederlands Knopenarchief is my personal hobby project about vintage and antique buttons, old packaging, manufacturers and the history of haberdashery.

A growing archive full of unusual finds and stories. Do you have old catalogues, labels, photographs or information? Contributions are always welcome.

Happy treasure hunting</description>

                <description>“What are you doing?&quot; &quot;I&#039;m darning a sock,&quot; he said, holding it up to show me.
&quot;What&#039;s that lump inside?&quot; &quot;A sock egg.&quot;&quot;A sock egg?
I didn&#039;t know socks hatched from eggs.&quot; &quot;Only the best ones do.
I can&#039;t wear the cheap kind, the ones that grow on trees. They give me blisters.” ~ Polly Shulman, The Grimm Legacy</description>

                <description>Spool knitting, corking, French knitting or tomboy knitting is a form of knitting that uses a spool with a number of nails around the rim to produce a narrow tube of fabric. The spool knitting devices are called knitting spools, knitting nancys, or French knitters.

The technique is to wrap the yarn around the spool&#039;s pegs. The yarn is then lifted over, thereby creating stitches. This process is repeated continually until the project is complete.

Spool knitting is a traditional way to teach children the basic principles of knitting. According to Mary McCormack, author of Spool Knitting (published in 1909), &quot;Few elementary exercises have aroused more interest in the child than the toy knitting; due, perhaps, to its simplicity and his power to do it easily and well.&quot;

Spool knitters typically have four or five pegs (or brass nails), although the number can range to more than one hundred.

Many things can be made from the resulting tube. For example, it can be wound in a spiral to produce a mat or rug or, if a larger spool with more nails is used, a sock or a hat could be made. Historically, spool knitting has been used to make horse reins.

Spools sold as &quot;knitting nancys&quot; sometime had a picture of a girl painted or printed on them, thus resembling a wooden doll. Homemade knitting spools are sometimes made by placing a peg-like object, such as a nail, into a hard solid object, such as a block of wood.</description>

                <description>USE OF BAKELITE IN HABERDASHERYBakelite (/ˈbeɪkəlaɪt/ BAY-kəl-eyet; sometimes spelled Baekelite), or polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride, is the first plastic made from synthetic components. It is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. It was developed by the Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907.

Bakelite was patented on December 7, 1909. The creation of a synthetic plastic was revolutionary for its electrical nonconductivity and heat-resistant properties in electrical insulators, radio and telephone casings and such diverse products as kitchenware, jewelry, pipe stems, children&#039;s toys, and firearms. The &quot;retro&quot; appeal of old Bakelite products has made them collectible.

Bakelite was designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark on November 9, 1993, by the American Chemical Society in recognition of its significance as the world&#039;s first synthetic plastic.

“I love the smell of old books,” Mandy sighed, inhaling deeply with the book pressed against her face.
The yellow pages smelled of wood and paper mills and mothballs.”― Rebecca McNutt, Super 8: The Sequel to Smog City</description>

                <description>Shipping is calculated by weight.

Choose the Country you are from and it shows the shipping rate for your Country. Shipping abroad needs custom declarations.

However, as with all well intentioned systems &quot;one size is never going to fit all&quot;.
So, if the shipping calculator is a little over enthusiastic I will refund you any excess that you have paid.
If the shipping looks alarming when you reach checkout...just email me and I&#039;ll sort it out.
Or, if you want to know what the shipping cost is likely to be...again, just get in touch.I dispatch orders as fast as I can and will attempt to accommodate any requests. Just email me on info@pearlsandroses.nl
Most orders will be sent with the Post Office. Higher value orders I will send tracked and insured using a courier service.I am a one person business and I usually go to the Post Office every day, but, inevitably, sometimes Life intervenes and delivery might take a little longer.</description>

                <link>https://www.pearlsandroses.nl/en_GB/c-4526482/button-history/</link>
                <description>Buttons and button-like objects used as ornaments or seals rather than fasteners have been discovered in the Indus Valley Civilization during its Kot Yaman phase (c. 2800–2600 BC)[1] as well as Bronze Age sites in China (c. 2000–1500 BC), and Ancient Rome.

Buttons made from seashell were used in the Indus Valley Civilization for ornamental purposes by 2000 BC.[2] Some buttons were carved into geometric shapes and had holes pierced into them so that they could be attached to clothing with thread.[2] Ian McNeil (1990) holds that: &quot;The button, in fact, was originally used more as an ornament than as a fastening, the earliest known being found at Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley. It is made of a curved shell and about 5000 years old.&quot;[3]

Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century. They soon became widespread with the rise of snug-fitting garments in 13th- and 14th-century Europe.

Buttons as containersSince at least the seventeenth century, when box-like metal buttons were constructed especially for the purpose,[5] buttons have been one of the items in which drug smugglers have attempted to hide and transport illegal substances. At least one modern smuggler has tried to use this method.

Also making use of the storage possibilities of metal buttons, during the World Wars, British and U.S. military locket buttons were made, containing miniature working compasses.

Buttons in museums and galleriesSome museums and art galleries hold culturally, historically, politically, and/or artistically significant buttons in their collections. The Victoria &amp; Albert Museum has many buttons,[22] particularly in its jewellery collection, as does the Smithsonian Institution.[23][24][25][26]

Hammond Turner &amp; Sons, a button-making company in Birmingham, hosts an online museum with an image gallery and historical button-related articles, including an 1852 article on button-making by Charles Dickens. In the USA, large button collections are on public display at the Waterbury Button Museum of Waterbury, Connecticut, the Keep Homestead Museum of Monson, Massachusetts, which also hosts an extensive button archive, and in Gurnee, Illinois at The Button Room.
