Welcome to my first blog!       

I want to share my love for antique and vintage buttons with everyone! 

I have been a button collector for over 20 years and I have always thought of designing jewelry using these little 'gems' to showcase their beauty, and uniqueness. I make one-of-a-kind pieces that take us back to a time long forgotten when pride and quality were incorporated into everything we made.

I have so many stories and pictures that I will be sharing, so please remember to revisit my blog and let me know your thoughts on my postings.

Since each of my jewelry designs are one-of-a-kind, the store is continually changing as items sell, new pieces are added so please check back often!

First, I need to thank my husband, and best friend, George. His inspiration and guidance have helped me build my dream. He is not only a fine artist and portrait painter, but also the designer of my web site, on line store, Facebook page, and my photographer. 

Also, I want to thank my daughters, Holly and Casey for their never ending encouragement, love and support. 

Last, but certainly not least, my sister, mentor, and other best friend, Mindy! Her never ending love, advice and knowledge keep me motivated to do what I do. She is also a jewelry designer. Her intricate patterns and color combinations continue to inspire me daily. Check her out on FB at Sunny Friendly Jewelry, you will be amazed!

I am very grateful and could not have come to realize my dream without all of this love, support, and expertise!
