There are knobbled ones, beaded ones, triangular ones, metal ones, flower-shaped, variegated and bejewelled ones at All Buttons Great and Small (419a King Street, Newtown). Sift your hands through the baskets of buttons at the front of the store, or spend an hour feeling your way through an encyclopedia of ways to enhance a dress, a jacket or even a living room. Buy a whole range of buttons and leave them in a bowl to run your hands over when you are bored with everyday objects.
