My seemingly endless supply of buttons inherited from my late Mother's collection is starting to dwindle. I am keeping my eyes open but, living in a rather isolated area, the opportunities to even look are few. Your pic has given me new energy around my hunt! Hope you're having a great trip! Buttons!

Sadly I haven't had the opportunity to go in many years... I do however recall that Canal Street has awesome stores, like the plastics supermarket, and lots of great little shops with metal findings and stuff like that. Also I do recommend eating a knish on the street, preferably outside the Metropoliatan Museum of Art. Have a wonderful time. Kim Mimi, New York I love.

"The Museum of Arts and Design" has an exhibit on Extreme Embroidery, I haven't checked it out yet but it looks fun. "The Market, NYC" features accessories and clothing created by young contemporary designers. It's interesting to see what these hip New Yorkers are making. Open weekends only I think. If you're checking out Daytona Trims stop by M&J Trimming too (their prices are a little higher but fun to see if you're in the neighborhood). Since you have an ETSY store maybe you'd enjoy stopping by the 'ESTY Lab' in Brooklyn. I'm not sure what events they have going on there that week.

I love them so much that I carry their card around with me in my wallet. :) They have every kind of trim imaginable. Ric rac, lace, ribbon, buttons, marabou, yarn, acrylic felt in every color, patches, beads ... There are some other great fabric and notions stores on that block, too.
