I finally found my trenchcoat buttons there and they have the largest selection of oversized snaps in metal and plastic and silk covered. No it isn't only you who gets brushed off in the middle of being helped at M & J. Bottani is my first stop now too.<br />Are you listening M&J? Carolyn has a lot of readers!<br />All of the buttons are lovely, and knowing you they will find homes before long.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-24613713988031517452010-11-20T17:12:26.347-05:002010-11-20T17:12:26.347-05:00Beautiful jacket--love the buttons!

The color looks good, but it's a little hard to see on the computer. The other buttons are nice, but just seem too small. Just my 2 cents.<br />MarthaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-49974688236876240892010-11-20T11:27:01.038-05:002010-11-20T11:27:01.038-05:00sounds absolutely lovely and that jacket will be f...sounds absolutely lovely and that jacket will be fabulous with a cranberry dress under it. ggMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301526396026815132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-26332372611462446242010-11-20T11:26:09.720-05:002010-11-20T11:26:09.720-05:00I preferred the leather flowers, actually, followe...I preferred the leather flowers, actually, followed by the paperclip buttons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-18838941491075957392010-11-20T11:25:16.457-05:002010-11-20T11:25:16.457-05:00M & J's staff isn't that helpful and i...M & J's staff isn't that helpful and it's very crowded.

Maybe it was the day. At least an M & J sales assistant gave me a little card with the button lines (sizes) so I could judge the size of the buttons on the wall.<br /><br />I like both stores and will continue to patronize both, but M & J is the button store I'd elect to live in.<br /><br />Williams-Sonoma is the home cooking equipment store I'd live in ....<br /><br />ABC Carpet and Home is the home furnishing store ....<br /><br />All the buttons looked good with the sweater, with the exception of the one that looks like a toggle button, which should be horizontal. It's hard for me to say more beyond that because photography can be misleading.Broderie Americainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-29290611726381792282010-11-20T10:27:51.279-05:002010-11-20T10:27:51.279-05:00Nice choices.

As soon as a read "cranberry", I said to myself, "Oh, where has cranberry BEEN? Bring back cranberry!" I remember when it was considered a go-to color for business clothing, along with navy (of course I was always looking for forest green, which I STILL can't find). Oh, a cranberry dress with that jacket will suit you just fine!Toby Wollinhttp://www.kitchencountereconomics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-41444865128462499892010-11-20T07:43:46.318-05:002010-11-20T07:43:46.318-05:00I like the idea of some color in the buttons as we...I like the idea of some color in the buttons as well.
