Rosieness Revue
January 25th, 2024

We grew up with a Button Shop in our neighborhood. We would visit for sewing projects and just to marvel at the shop’s collection. We didn’t realize at the time, how unique it was - We also kept a cookie tin full of buttons, to replace lost ones and to make monster mittens - see below. While Tender Buttons is no more - see the article below - Button Art is still alive and well - Here are some of our favorites.
