Hello, hello!

I hope this letter finds you well! I have some news to share and thought it was a good time for an update from this side of the river! This past year has been full of new adventures for my family and me. Jack, 12, and Abe, almost 10, are thriving and love their new schools in White Salmon. Jason has spent the past year starting his sawmill business and building our home. Despite supply chain issues and labor shortages, things are coming along with the build-out, and we hope to move in by fall! I’ve been working as a substitute teacher in several local school districts, an opportunity I’ve grown to appreciate and love!
Twelve years ago, before I opened Button, I planned to become a high school English teacher and was enrolled in PSU’s graduate teaching program. At the time, Jack was a new baby and I felt overwhelmed by the prospect of going back to school full time with an infant. I don’t know why I thought opening my own store would be more manageable (ha!), but it felt like the right choice at the time. Now, a decade later, I’ve come full-circle and I’m grateful for the opportunity to revisit teaching.

When I closed Button last year, I knew that my next professional endeavor needed to allow more time for fun with my family, walks in the woods, and home projects, things that I love but that had taken a back seat to the demands of the shop. This goal has only grown over the past year and, as I've spent time teaching in the schools, I've developed an appreciation for the way my schedule and focus blends with my kids' lives. We are aligned in a way that makes connection easy and inevitable. What a gift!

So after much consideration, I’ve decided to pivot and start the journey to becoming a full time teacher! Continued in comments…

Folks! Pollo Bravo just opened their doors on North Killingsworth and it is SO GOOD! This is my sister and her husband’s restaurant and I could not be more proud of their strength and grace these past few years. After surviving the pandemic in their former downtown location, they made the move up north and poured their hearts into the new space. It’s the perfect spot to take your family or meet for a date—both indoor and outdoor tables, a great drink list, and such a delicious menu with something for everyone! They’re open for lunch and dinner Wednesday-Sunday 11:30-9. Go check them out!

Hey friends! Long time! Thinking of you all as we head into a new year and hoping that you’ve all found sparks of joy as you’ve weathered the challenges of the past year. We’re not on IG much these days and I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon. If you’re interested in hearing about our plans for a shop out here in the gorge or if you want to receive my (ir)regular updates via email, sign up through our website! I won’t spam you, I promise. Wishing you all a wonderful new year! ❤️

Hey Friends!

Whew! It's been quite a whirlwind since our final day in the shop! Closing up, clearing out, and moving on is no joke! I won't lie--my heart has been pretty tender as I've reflected on the past decade and what Button has meant to me. I am filled with gratitude for the support of my family and all who made Button so wonderful, especially you. You were my source for creativity, for personal and professional growth, and the most inspiring community of folks I have ever been a part of! I will miss you all but I am so excited to keep you along for the ride as we begin planning for our next shop out here in White Salmon.

And, on that note, I am super excited to let you all know about a new shop coming to the old Button space!

For those of you who don't already know her, meet Rebekah! She is the creative force behind the rad local t-shirt company, Vein of Gold. We met through Button and I was immediately drawn to her warmth, her creativity, and her amazing sense of style. Rebekah will be opening up her own consignment shop in the old Button space and it's going to be really, really good.

You can follow along over the next month or so as Rebekah and her crew get the shop up and running! Find them on Instagram and sign up for their newsletter on their website!
Wishing you all a beautiful spring and sending you all my love and thanks! Talk to you soon!

It's now or never! Tomorrow, Sat 3/13, is our final day at our NoPo storefront! We'll be open from 11-5 so come by to pick up your online order, pick up your consignment check, or just come in to shop one last time before saying goodbye!

While the shop is pretty empty at this point, we still have plenty of jewelry and accessories, including Thunderpants!

Everything is on sale, in store and online! All consignment clothing and shoes are 50% off with an automatic discount which you'll see at checkout. The rest of the shop is 25% off which will be applied as a refund when I fulfill your orders.

Be sure to get your online order in by tonight if you'd like to pick it up in the shop tomorrow! Any online orders that are left after closing tomorrow will need to be shipped.

If you are picking up an online order or a check, you can skip the line and come straight to the door where we'll help you!

Looking forward to seeing some of you in person tomorrow! If not, I hope you know how much I appreciate your support! I hope to see you one day soon in the Gorge!

Hey folks,

Just wanted to remind you that this is our LAST WEEK here at the shop!

We are open 11-5 Wednesday 3/10, and Saturday 3/13.

If you have an online order to pick up, this is your last chance to come get it! You will need to have it shipped if you can't collect it this week.

Last Saturday was really busy and there was a line out front most of the day! That line was for folks waiting to shop in-store one last time. If you are picking up an online order or a check, you can skip the line and come straight to the door where we'll help you!

Everything is on sale so this is your chance to grab a treasure or two at a very steep discount. All used consignment clothing, shoes, and bags are 50% off with an automatic discount which you'll see at checkout. The rest of the shop is 25% off which will be applied as a refund when I fulfill your orders (Shopify won't let me allow 2 discounts at the same time). We also have a few more treasures (especially in Maternity + Kids) in-store that are not listed online!

Feel free to use your credit in the shop or online by leaving a request in the note box in your cart. We'll refund you and apply your credit when we fulfill your order (same applies for using gift cards online). If you'd like to take a check, you can come get one when we're open or email us to have a check mailed to you. We'll deduct $2 for this service and mail it out as soon as possible!

Looking forward to seeing some of you in person this next week! If you aren't able to make it, we'll look forward to seeing you in 2022 at our future shop in the Gorge! Thank you so much for your support and love over the years. I am so grateful to this amazing community.

Hey there,

Well, I finally have some news to share with you all. While I've worked with a number of potential buyers over the past 6 months to try to sell Button, it has ultimately proven unsuccessful and I will be closing up the shop over the next few weeks.

Everything is on sale so this is your chance to grab a treasure or two at a very steep discount. All used consignment clothing, shoes, and bags are 40% off with an automatic discount which you'll see at checkout. The rest of the shop is 25% off which will be applied as a refund when I fulfill your orders (Shopify won't let me allow 2 discounts at the same time). We also have more treasures in-store that are not listed online!

We will be open 11-5 Sat 3/6, Wed 3/10, and Sat 3/13, which is our last day.

If you have anything to pick up or if you want to swing in to shop, please come by--I'd love to see you! The online calendar is updated with available appointments for in-store shopping but most of the spots are reserved for walk-in shopping spots so please come by! Many of you have asked if we are going to sell our plants. We have other plans for them currently but will update you if and when they become available.

Feel free to use your credit in the shop or online by leaving a request in the note box in your cart. We'll refund you and apply your credit when we fulfill your order (same applies for using gift cards online). If you'd like to take a check, you can come get one when we're open or email us to have a check mailed to you. We'll deduct $2 for this service and mail it out as soon as possible!

Closing Button is the hardest decision I've ever made and I am heartbroken about it. But I am also filled with gratitude and humility for the love and support you all have shown me and my shop over the years. And I am so excited about what's next! I'll be sending updates over email and through our social media as we dream up our next shop out in the Gorge! Can't wait to take you on our journey over the next year.

Our Story

Button is a neighborhood consignment shop for women and littles. We accept seasonal items and offer our consignors a 50/50 split in store credit or a 40/60 split as a check when items sell. Consignors may bring in up to 20 items for consideration with no appointment, everyday from 10-6. We also offer appointments for larger batches--just ask to make an appointment. We sell high quality, brand-name pieces that are fun and fashionable and have been very gently loved. We also carry locally made jewelry, accessories, and gifts.
