				I continue to receive orders from the Henry’s Buttons website from from all over the world . Most are from the United Kingdom but there is a following in Australia and the United States. This is very encouraging as there seems to be an active interest worldwide. Henry’s Buttons is starting to receive commissions. These include one from the Shaftesbury Town Twinning Association for a picture of Shaftesbury featuring Dorset Buttons to be presented to their twinned town of Lindlar in Germany, a private one for six Christmas decorations to take as a present to family in Canada, individual buttons for clothing and butons featuring the Dorset Flag. There are a number of other people who continue to take an interest for their own personal reasons including making buttons for historical  re-enactment costumes. I have now identified four outlets for the sale of our goods under the ‘Henry’s Buttons’ banner. Two of these outlets already stock our goods. However, we are limited to the number of items and the quality that we can produce. Three of us are currently discussing ‘quality control’ of the buttons as well as the finishing off of the goods we sell through the ‘Henry’s Buttons’ label.
