Did you know that I have a crafty biz on the side?
While my main freelance work is writing, copy editing, and proofreading (and I'm currently seeking a full-time job in Atlanta doing all of this), I also make and sell the following as The Button Babe:
- 1 inch pinback buttons
- 1 inch magnets
- Interchangeable jewelry with 1 inch magnet charms, including bracelets, necklaces, and rings
- Necklaces with 1 inch charms
- 2.25 inch buttons
- Pocket mirrors
- Bottle openers
- (And every single thing is fully customizable!)

I'd been a collector of cute 1 inch pins since my days as a 90s hipster/zinegirl, and when I won a little bit of money from a now-defunct search-and-win site, I invested in a professional grade one inch button press and had a great time making not only buttons but also magnets and jewelry. A few years later I invested in a second press that makes 2.25 inch buttons, mirrors (which I occasionally turn into hanging ornaments), bottle openers, and more.
I have an Etsy store at tiarabuttons.etsy.com and my own independent online shop at thebuttonbabe.com. I also sell my wares in Decatur, GA, at HomeGrown, and I hope to find some new brick and mortar venues in the near future.
