I shopped for bead and buttons - Lou Lou's was great for buttons. They have a great selection and are SO friendly. Fun2Bead and New York Beads were super. M&J Trim was fun, but for buttons, Lou Lou's is better. It was really fun to go from one fabulous shop to the next, and the selection was just super. More

There is still, however, a great deal of design and marketing of lines that are conducted in the area. There are a number of smaller shops that provide some outstanding deals. On 35th between 7th...
