I've been collecting beautiful buttons since before I started sewing. They're small, and don't take up much room, and when I started to make my own clothes I really did plan to use them. But...they just kinda accumulated. Finally, I put them up on eBay, and sold them for a song.

I regretted it immediately. I wanted them back! But, I also learned that I enjoyed packing them up and sending them off to new homes. So...a new business was born.

Now I buy buttons I love from all over the world, and I send them off to exotic places for others to love and use. I've sent buttons to every continent, and for every imaginable purpose.

People use them for clothing, jewelry, hand bags, book binding, hair accesories, fine art and children's crafts. They adorn dolls, pets, furniture and rear-view mirrors. They hang them on key chains, collect them like fishing flies on hatbands, make memorable stocking stuffers and make stunning centerpieces by filling a bowl on the coffee table.

If you see a button in my shop you love, don't wait to reserve or buy it. They go very quickly, and sometimes I'm sold out within a week of their arrival. I wrap, pack and ship every order myself, often getting them into the mail within hours after receiving the order.

I also take special orders, so if you're looking for something specific, don't hesitate to ask. I just might have it or be able to get it for you.
