I’m doing an about face with this month’s featured website.  No photos and limited information.  Common Button Back Marks [http://pweb.netcom.com/~jimyce/bm.html] lists manufacturers of buttons and likely dates when they were made.  If you’re a button collector there are many websites you probably already frequent.   For others, this one-page site can be very useful for dating clothing, handbags, shoes, gloves, and more.

[You all know Rebecca, she mans the shop several days a week and helps with all our events.  Rebecca and her mom Marilyn (Carol's sister) just moved their Booth #9 with a complete redo to the right at the top of the stairs.]
“My Mom and I have talked for years about opening a little shop that carried a variety of things.  When I got laid off from my corporate job for a local builder my Aunt Carol had just opened Laura’s Emporium, so my Mom and I took a small spot to see how it would go.  I am a confessed shop-a-holic and love clothes, especially vintage!  My Mom is a great crafts-lady and makes beautiful dolls and bears, especially at Christmas time – her Santa’s are amazing!  So our “Little Shoppe of Hodge Podge” carries all our favorite things: clothes, collectibles, vintage, crafts, etc.  We put a ton of love and TLC into the new spot upstairs and are so pleased with how cozy it turned out!”
