HELLO ~ my name is Samantha, I am kept busy as mum to three beautiful children aged 1, 3 and 6 years old. I have always loved all things vintage, I grew up shopping by patterns and textures, thoroughly enjoyed rummaging in charity and secondhand stores - always looking for a bargain but also something different. I have never been mainstream or followed fashion preferring not to shop the high street and look like everyone else. I bought old leather and suede coats when they were cheap to find, before it became trendy and the thrift stores caught on to this and realised they could charge more! I bought button necklaces before they too became trendy and now lots of people own one they have either made themselves or bought off someone at a market. Many people are turning their inherited vintage button collections into wearable works of art.

I love ties, old and new, silk, material and yes even polyester if it has a great design/print! I love buttons, old and new, the quirkier or more unusual the better. What better way to combine them than as an easy to wear "neck-tie" as unique as you are!

I hope that in browsing through my collection you will find something that grabs your attention and makes you take a second look. With novelty designs, cartoon characters, movies and just gorgeous patterns you are sure to find something to add to your favourites. If not, then save me as a favourite seller or store and check back regularly as I will update my listings as and when I find time to create something just that little bit different from the humble tie, a few buttons and the odd fabric flower or lace embellishment.

Have fun choosing something different and dare to make a statement!
