I was able to spend a glorious morning in Joanns Fabric while hubby went to his favorite shops. Needless to say I could have spent a small fortune while there. I think everything was on sale, especially Christmas items, and I’ve never seen Joanns that busy.
I was on a mission though. In January I’m starting a second Etsy shop that is based on “mixed elements” and was looking for unique, organic style buttons. I was excited to see the large collection of such buttons today and I had a very hard time deciding what to buy. I ended up buying Organic Elements in wood and coconut, JHB in shell and coconut and Textures by La Mode that are ceramic ~ they had many in this line to choose from and it was very hard to decide which ones to buy. I was also interested in their line of buttons from recycled fibers and plastics ~ a very “green” line ~ that looked like real wood but will try those at a later date.
This should get me started with what I’m planning and I also have several buttons that I’m considering from Etsy shop owners. I love the new ceramic buttons that are be created, as well as the variety of wood buttons. So many to choose from ~ makes it very hard! I recently wrote an article on buttons …. check it out by clicking here .
I love buttons, too! A button or two can make such a statement. Can’t wait to see you new Etsy shop!
I agree and they are quite fun!
I’ve bought many of those same buttons…great choices! I used the big ceramic ones (in a persimmon color) on one my alpaca neckwarmers…now in my shop: http://www.homemadeoriginals.net.
Thank you and I almost bought the one you used in your scarf, which by the way is gorgeous!
Very cool, Joann has some really great buttons sometimes!
Thank you and yes, they do!
