All Buttons Great and Small: A Compelling History of the Button, from the Stone Age to Today - Hardcover

Lucy Godoroja has always had an interest in the creative process, whether through the handcrafts of sewing and needlework or jewelry making, to the design of large or small objects. She also has a great love of travel and adventure; born in Canada, she came alone to Australia at the age of 23, moved to the Netherlands at 24, then returned to Australia after 4 years. A serendipitous meeting in Amsterdam with a button shop owner renewed her passion for this small, innocuous object, inspiring her to open her own button shop in Newtown, Australia, called 'All Buttons Great and Small'. There followed both a career path and a life of shared stories and exchanged ideas ... and buttons. Lucy has been published in collections about fashions, jewels, shops and travel, and A Button a Day is her first book.
