Duttons for Buttons in Harrogate and their display window homage to the bicycle and the Tour which was about to race into the town. Kate Davies Designs calls the Dutton shops the spiritual home of the button on her blog
here and the place to find that elusive button to make up a set
here. This family business have three haberdashery shops within a small area of Yorkshire, some of their stock can be browsed on-line
here but as they have more than 12,000 designs in stock it is the tip of the iceberg. Watched Pirates of the Caribbean? I'll pay more attention to the buttons rather than Johnny Depp next time as I read on their site that Duttons were the people who supplied the buttons for the costumes.
The companion cat was a popular choice for last week's ABC Wednesday contributors so of course we can't leave out the companion for this week's letter and
this 'cute as a button' little dog being taken for a walk along the Millom Embankment with the Lakeland fells in the distance.

never knew there was so much to know about buttons
wow, who'd a thunk there is so much to the lowly buttons?
You had me at Tour De France, and Johnny Depp was a bonus. Blogging, still the way way to find out quirky facts. Buttons, I see in a new light.

Amazing button shop!
I have a cute-as-a-button dog, and so we named her Button!
Fun choices for the letter D!

What a very charming haberdashery with a neat name! :D
What a wonderful post about Duttons! You never think about the need for something so tiny to have perfect detail in movie costumes! What a fortunate company to get that contract! I went over to look at the blog. I love buttons. How fun!
