Hello, World!

Okay...so that's not a very creative title.  Maybe I'll change it later.

On April 7, 2010 I officially entered the button bizness!  Yep, me...buying and selling buttons.  It only makes sense, considering how much I LOVE to sew.  I also love watercolor painting, art journaling, scrapbooking, gardening...okay, so I have a lot of loves.  And I'm doing my best to spend every moment of my spare time on them.... I've been thinking about this button bisiness for a long time, now.  It's been tickling the back of my brain and makin' me want to sneeze.  I'm always seeing odd lotments of buttons here and there that I like...I see the closeouts at my favorite stores, I see vintage buttons at yard sales, I see antique buttons at flea markets and in antique stores...and I see big tins of recycled buttons at thrift stores and such.  But, I rarely buy.  I look, I want a few, but...I don't want the rest.  And while I don't mind buying a bunch, I don't want to store them.  And being a sewing/fabric/button/craft addict, I just cannot throw them away.  That just isn't in my nature.  So...the seeds were planted long ago, and when the little voice just wouldn't be silenced anymore, I decided a button business was the only way to get a good night's rest.

And here I am.  I'm going to blog about the process now and then, and hope you'll enjoy reading enough to visit my store, buy a button or two, and generally enjoy the incredible world of buttons along with me.
