Well, if you actually want one (or more) of these babies just let me know. I offered Richard Widmark to my Ma, but she wasn’t interested. And The Man who Fell to Earth is already taken.

Just look! As well as Burt, Clara Bow, St Jude, and a cheesy still from Blow Up , there are two (that’s two) Mick Travis’s in there. I saw Malcolm McDowell give his one-man show reading from the diaries of Lindsay Anderson at the Edinburgh Festival a few years ago. To this occasion, and an associated screening of O! Lucky Man, I wore a T-Shirt on which I had printed the words “How much are they paying you?” This reference will be lost on anyone who hasn’t seen the film (that’s probably most of you, then) but I can assure you I felt stupidly happy wearing it.

Anyway, I would be happy to swap anything wee – eg button, ribbon, chocolate. . .you can leave a comment here or email me (address is on the ‘about’ page above). This is a one-off exchange and they are not for sale.

    in desperate need of st jude! would swap for lovely square handmade button made by laura walker.

  2. Wow I am very interested in ‘The Greatest Show on Earth!’ I’ll trade it for some Missability Button badges… one great show badge for another!
    What do you think?
    :D

  3. My favourites are the birds, the beautiful foreign manuscript, white outline on blue (which I’m sure I should recognise but currently don’t), and the world … but I see the first two are already gone; I don’t suppose you’d make any more? I could swap you some cotton grosgrain ribbon; I have it in red, bright pink and purple and could send you many metres because I bought some rolls in a sale.

  4. I’ll swap a you a badge from the Modern Museum of art in Stockholm for the one with Burt Lancaster on. And one more of your choice for some painted wooden buttons. (I’m at work (sshhh!) so I can’t send any photos. This is a wonderful idea! I’m happy even if the buttons are gone – or you don’t feel like swapping.

  5. I mailed your stitch marker! Can’t wait until Bowie is safely pinned to my bag.

  6. Hmm… I like the bird one. But would you swap badges for badges? What if I throw in a pretty button or two?

  11. Oh my, how about some Pennsylvania chocolate (NOT Hershey) for the ‘Blow Up’ button? *crossing fingers as I love that movie so,so much*
