Does anyone know where I can buy in bulk, a thistle designed concho ? or even buttons ?
Thanks,
Max

Don't know if they include thistles, but Tandy carries some Celtic-design conchos such as this. There are severall threads on this forum about buttons with links to various suppliers.

P.S. If you can list where you have already looked, it would help avoid "been there, don't have it" suggestions.

I found my files with the link indexes.

"Patterns and Sewing Items from Highland X Press" All kinds of buttons, buckles, and Highland stuff there.

I think those are the ones with silver and pewter buttons.

I've been getting a celtic design concho from www.concho.com at a very reasonable price. But, I wanted to find a thistle concho. I got one, off a sporran I bought, but it has no manufaturers name on it. They are out there somewhere, I just don't know where. I have already checked out the ones you all have suggested. I may just have to settle with the buttons instead of the conchos.

These folks do have thistle buttons.

Thanks for those links, Ted! I've been looking for a place that cloak clasps that I like, and Three Feathers Pewter has several! I can now make the cloak that I have been procrastinating on...

Oh, and I don't like your new sig... You are not boring!

No problem.

How about ambiguous and bland?
