There is something so deliciously old school about a store that sells only one, very specific type of item. Vancouver has several of these: Drexoll for board games, a pen shop downtown but my very favorite is Button Button for, you guessed it, buttons. The store sits on a quiet corner in Gastown; a giant spool of thread marks its entrance. And because its inventory is only buttons, the range available is mind boggling. There are vintage buttons of porcelain, resin and wood to new plastic ones, and for lovers of kitsch there are those shaped like bananas, monsters or cobs of corn. I need buttons because I make crafts; I love buttons for their tiny punches of flare.
