All Buttoned Up Market

Do you love buttons? Have a button fetish? Then check out this fab market, All Buttoned Up, at the new 1000 Markets. There are so many clever and appealing items here using vintage and new buttons - for the home, to wear, cards and paper goods - you must check it out if you love buttons as much as I do.

I joined 1000 Markets this spring - it's a beautiful site for shopping handmade. I don't do enough promotion for them, and I'm trying to fix that. A bunch of us sellers have items with free shipping this month, connected with an Amazon promotion, so check out my shop and others. They take Amazon Payments, not Paypal, but doesn't everyone buy from Amazon these days? It's US-only, so overseas folk will have to buy from my Etsy shop, but many pieces from OTT on Etsy are on 1KM.

IKM is juried, which means that shops are vetted for quality and handmade standards. You won't see any resellers there!

Button Jewelry

My first ever blog and blog post! I've been thinking about creating a design/costume/business blog, not that I have much time for it, so as I find
my blog voice, I begin with a visual, a slide show for YouTube of all of the button jewelry that I've made since opening my little online store. I say "little", but it is actually huge, encroaching on my living area and slowly taking over the living room, AKA The Studio, not to mention hard drive space on my computer!

My favorite singer ever, Dame Shirley Bassey, elevates and energizes, as always.
