Hi, I am looking for a good online button 'store'. I am looking for plastic, everyday buttons, but need specific colors. I have looked in regular stores, JoAnn's fabrics, Wal-mart, etc. but even though I have found the style I want, I can't get the colors. I'm not looking for odd colors either, just baby or (soft) yellow, and baby or (mint) green shank buttons. In sizes 7/16 or 3/8". I've found the pink I was looking for at Wal-mart. Does anyone have any suggestions of sites to look on, or stores where they find a good selection that I can buy from online? I am in Maine so my choices of actually walking into a store are limited due to location. Thanks so much! -- Jamie
