Button Sale Hoping to Raise Thousands

Monday July 15 2019

Collectors, sewers, knitters and crafters are invited to a sale of buttons in an Edinburgh church this September.

On the Button at St Andrew’s and St George’s West Church will feature vintage and collectable buttons, and buttons for crafts and costumes. There will also be vintage lace and trims on sale.

The event is in aid of the Marie Curie cancer charity and organisers are hoping it will be as successful as its predecessor, which raised £4500 in 2017.

It is promoted by Creative Together, a group formed by members of the three congregations of Edinburgh City Centre Churches Together (made up of St Andrew’s and St George’s West and St Cuthbert’s Church of Scotland, and St John’s Episcopal Church).

On the Button takes place on Friday and Saturday September 6 and 7, from 10am-4pm.

Buttons can be sent to St Andrew’s and St George’s West Church, 13 George St, Edinburgh EH2 2PA or handed in at the church office (open Mon-Fri 10am-3pm). The deadline for receipt of donations is July 31.
