Farmer Kelly has forever been an advocate of the five R’s: Respect, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Button jewelry naturally flowed out of these concepts. There is just something magical about creating something new out of something old. Each button has a history and a certain charm that makes for a beautiful combination.

She has been doing antique button bracelets for over five years, starting with making a couple for herself out of her mom’s, grandmas’ and great grandma’s button jars. Since then, she has come across many unique buttons through garage sales, estate sales, family, friends and is always looking for more. And just this winter she added button earrings–made out of sterling silver or 14K gold wire and all earring parts are made in the United States.

You can find her unique jewelry at the Blue Earth and Mankato farmers’ markets. Or if you have special buttons, she can custom design one for you!
