Floor to ceiling with carefully labeled boxes, and buttons ranging from inexpensive to extremely pricey. I could have spent hours looking at each of the little treasures.
In the end, I found a few tiny gems for my niece, Baby Bird. Her mother is an accomplished seamstress, and I know they will find a good home on just the right little sweater.
I just went to see a button exhibit at the Mona Bismarck Foundation in Paris http://www.monabismarck.org/current.html and they talked about Tender Buttons, have a whole room just dedicated to the passion of the two who created the shop... and their collection of buttons... I did a double take and thought wait a minute, is that the same store as you mentioned? and it is! Can't wait till I am next in NYC to go make a visit, I know it will be bliss!
