We've now been open for twenty years! Our store opened in downtown Portland in March of 1997. And this is the one that started it all!
Marvis purchased this ceramic pin, taken from a 19th-century picture button, and it sparked her interest in antique and vintage buttons, which a few years later led to them starting The Button Emporium.
The pin, and the button it was created from, represent the fable of The Fox and the Goat from Aesop's Fables, and bears the French inscription "En toute chose il faut considerer la fin," which translated into English means "In all things one must consider the end."
Happy Holidays to everyone! We have lots of fun ribbon for tying onto your wreaths, packages and holiday costumes...stop in to say hello.
