Buy Better Buttons for Buddies

This post is all about buttons, buttons, buttons. Every finished knitting that cardigan with your favourite yarn, and then, because you really wanted to wear it right away, used kind of mediocre buttons to finish? 

Well, kill 2 birds with one stone (that sounds violent), how about, help 2 birds with one purchase? Or if you don't need buttons, I'll bet there's someone on your gift list who does.

Anyways, check out some of these great button ideas from etsy sellers. And this is only the tip of the button pile. If you know of a button maker/collector who should be on this list, please leave me a comment!
