button button who’s got the button
I have just begun sewing again after many years “in retirement.” I am having a terrible time finding interesting “artsy” buttons – the kind that make a jacket or coat.
I would appreciate any suggestions for on-line sources for buttons.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe there's something here:
http://www.renaissancebuttons.com/
http://www.bluemoonbuttons.com/index.htm
http://www.creativeimpressionsinclay.com/ Their coin button selection is interesting
Knitting shops and yarn suppliers often carry unusual buttons - you can google this. Here's one to get you started
http://www.muenchyarns.com/
Magazines such as
http://www.ornamentmagazine.com/
http://www.beadandbutton.com/
http://www.stampington.com/html/Belle_armoire.html
have advertisements which will lead you to new sources of art buttons.
Good luck!

Wow, lots of button resources posted here. Three more I use are:
http://www.mjtrim.com/
https://www.buttonshoppe.com/ (this site sometimes has broken links, and can be a pain to navigate, but it has a good assortment of buttons.)
http://reprodepotfabrics.com/index.html (cool vintage and retro)
Glad that you are back in action!
thanks - they are great sites
