The Button Emporium

One day while strolling through downtown Portland I ran across a small little shop, you know the kind, with the little bay windows exhibiting gorgeous displays.  Well, of course I had to stop in and check it out.  Much to my delight this adorable place is jam packed with the coolest buttons, ribbons, and what not that you can imagine.  I was particularly drawn to the handmade ribbon flowers.  Aren't they beautiful.  (Yes, it's on my list of things to try!)

They also have an amazing selection of standard buttons as well as hand-crafted unique buttons.

The amount of color in this place is mind boggling.  Who knew there were this many way cool buttons around?  Not to mention the drop-dead must-have ribbons.

So, if you are ever in the market for some unique buttons or hand-dyed ribbons be sure and check them out!  Or better yet, just drop in for a quick stroll and soak in the colors.  I've been back several times since discovering this little gem.  Their web site doesn't do them justice but here it is none-the-less,  http://www.buttonemporium.com/.
