And now, Elsie & Harper Co.
My button obsession started years ago when I was a proud band mom cheering for my boys at marching band competitions. I wanted to create something fun for the kids — and once my younger son taught me how to use Photoshop, I was hooked. One design led to another, and a simple idea turned into a full-fledged creative passion.
Since 2011, I’ve been designing and hand-pressing buttons, badges, and spirit wear for schools, fundraisers, and special causes — from band performances and classroom projects to events like the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk and Juvenile Diabetes Research fundraisers.
Now my shop has a new name and a fresh focus: Elsie & Harper Co., inspired by my two adventurous dogs and the outdoor life we love. Harper Grace joined our family in 2024 after the passing of my best friend, and continuing her joyful spirit through this shop has become something very special to me.
When I’m not creating buttons, I teach elementary school and spend my free time hiking, paddle boarding, and finding new adventures with my dogs by my side.
Thank you for visiting my shop and supporting handmade creativity — every order truly means the world to me.
