Years ago a friend of mine started collecting buttons.  Glass, metal, lucite, all types of buttons.  I was fascinated with these little works of art, so I too began collecting. It didn’t take long before we had LOTS of buttons. Her husband, annoyed at having these colorful piles everywhere in the house, suggested we DO something with them. Long story short, I bought her stash of buttons, set up space in my apartment and began creating and designing jewelry. The rest is history. I’m still passionate about making "one of a kind" jewelry and incorporating all sorts of bits and beads in my designs.  My hope for you is that you find your passion and run with it.
