Custom Orders Welcome!

14 Dec

I was recently given a large donation of buttons from a lovely woman I had met at a recent craft fair.  She had told me that her mother had been a child of the Depression and that she took buttons off of shirts before getting rid of them.  These buttons were a piece of her mother.  I had made the woman and her two sisters charm bracelets using only the buttons that came from their mother.  When I had surprised the woman with this gift she began to cry.  She told me that “she would be forever grateful” and that she “never thought those old buttons could look so good”.  I was happy!

Inspirations…from the Hart

26 Oct

Do you have buttons that you inherited from

family or have collected over the years?

Would you like a way to show off these great colors and textures?

We are a new accessory line that utilizes antique and collected buttons to embellish purses, headbands, earrings, bracelets, and more.

The inspiration for Buttons from the Hart came from my grandmother’s button box.  After losing her, I looked at her button box, something she always had around and decided to utilize the buttons and create something that could incorporate them into everyday wear, a reminder of her.  After a successful pair of “charm” bracelets for my sisters, I decided to continue this new fun, attractive hobby of making accessories with buttons.
