My Favorite Store

    There are kindred spirits out there. Have you ever found one? One day I was walking down town. I had a double stroller and little children and I happened upon a store called The Button Box. I could barely fit the stroller through the door and just managed to fit it in a corner of the store. I was mesmerized by the treasures. It was all the things that spoke to me in one place! The store owner was so sweet. She was not phased by the massive stroller or busy inquisitive children. She gave them a container of buttons and a vintage muffin tin to sort them into and miracle of miracles they sat and sorted buttons! I can't remember the first thing I bought there. It might have been a package of beautiful cards or a hat but every single thing I have ever bought there has been something I absolutely loved. I am always completely blown away by the depth of beauty in the store and how everything is put together. The store has moved a couple doors down from its original location and is now bigger and brighter and even more full of delight. In this town stores like this are NOT a dime a dozen they are one in a million. I feel like Jeanie (who owns the store) is a kindred spirit. She is beautiful, kind, empathetic, caring, sweet and completely divine.
  When you walk into the Button Box it makes you wish you had your nails done and lip stick on and lived in a time of gloves and hats. It makes you want to have fresh flowers on your kitchen table. The Button Box inspires me, anyway, to remember what I love and who I am deep down. I feel like every time I am there I am strengthened to keep on. It might sound silly but I am! Jeanie and her girls make such an effort to make me feel like I matter and that my life as it is right now is not just mundane or ridiculous. I have been going to the Button Box now for nine years and I love it more every time.
  I went there today and took some pictures of it. I wish I was more computer savvy so I could post them in a beautiful way. However I will do what I can ~ Enjoy


I love the gold baskets under this table and this display ~ golds and spring blues, fresh green and everything beautiful.

Obviously I got caught up in that display for quite a while :) I was able to tear myself away and meander through the store clicking enthusiastically. There is a children's section filled with sweetness.

 Above are perfect little aprons to inspire you and your littles to work together in the kitchen.  Below are perfect swaddling blankets and baskets for your baby room.

The classic book by Beatrice Potter that I grew up with. One of my favorites!

Such a sweet little mobile ~ I love the simplicity and yet it draws your eye.

Stunning colors

Are you ready for this? It is amazing......

These are so colorful and fetching!!!

I love these blossoms ~ they also greet you as you walk in.

 This picture ~ I love the bright bouquet. It makes me wish to be in Italy. I don't know why.

 So many details.

So serene and peaceful  

Do you need a delectable cook book? Cause they have one!

How about a hat? Do you need one of those? Cause they have those too.

Jewelry that matches your day timer? It is there and it is gorgeous.

They have elegantly wrapped delicately scented soap too ~

Touches of sparkle and shine are to be found all throughout the store. 

They have tiny dishes to hold your rings if you want one..in robins egg blue ~ is there anything delicate, feminine and perfect they have not covered? I think not.

Earrings, sunglasses, scarves, hair adornments ~ all the accessories you need to feel fabulous are here.

I adore the contrast of this dress fabric, the tree beside it and the desk that it is sitting on. Genius I think!

Of course they have tiny little birds and at Christmas they had hedgehogs.

If you need anything scented with lavender....apparently that is not a problem here! See what I mean? Everything lady like and delicate is here!!

Scarves

Water bottles

Totally cute T Shirts

Writing utensils and elegant antique desks at which to use them  

 

The sweetest most fetching mugs

I have lots more pictures of which I will save for a rainy day. I hope you have enjoyed glimpses into my most favorite store. Everyone needs a Button Box in their life. A place where when you walk in you feel like you have found a part of yourself. Have a lovely Friday tomorrow xo
