Sometimes you just need the right button...

Koko Noelle Buttons I found at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival

Are you looking for the right button for a knitting project?  Try Koko Noelle for handcrafted buttons in porcelain and stoneware.  You're going to love their unique designs, quality, and durability.  There are even care instructions for you.  Visit the ArtFire Gallery or Etsy Shop, KokoNoelle and soak in the colors, textures, and organic sensibility. You'll definitely want to check out the blog for updates, look for an event near you, and discover your inner button personality.

Incorporate a little art wear. Dare to dress up and accessorize your knitting.  Your projects will thank you. 

Enjoy the madness in your Monday.  You always have knitting to help you recover.
