Hurricane

| goldenbuttonshop

Incase you are wondering… The Golden Button did not disappear or anything…

It looks that way… because we took down the signs so they don’t smash anything in the storm.

I hope you are all safe and home with your families. Please be careful and make the best of your day off.

(If you have one)

I have recounted the Button Jar and will announce the winners of the Button Jar and the Facebook giveaway this week!!!!
