This is marvellous news, these little niche shops need to be highly valued. I love collecting buttons, they are like treasure to me, little jewels I keep in jars.

What a marvellous outcome and great generosity from the people who donated to the fund. Shops like these and their owners are a very rare thing these days.

I am so happy my donation helped toward this worthwhile cause. My donation was in memory of my sister Audrey Kneller who passed away in Bournemouth on September 18, 2025 and whose story was also published by the Gentle Author.

What brilliant news! I was happy to contribute but doubted that enough could be raised in time so well done GA for spreading the news and getting such a good response!
Long live the independent specialist shops and suppliers.
