In March 2012 the Ottawa Valley Button Club (OVBC) mounted a display of Antique Buttons at Dragonfly Fabrics.  The theme was “Pearls for Girls” & “Art Nouveau Buttons”.  We had a steady number of visitors who admired, purchased and learned about antique buttons.  We want to thank Linda Doyle for so generously welcoming us to her shop and we thank our many visitors.

On the weekend of September 10 & 11 the Ottawa Valley Button Club (OVBC) hosted Button Mania at the Almonte Old Town Hall as part of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum’s 16th Annual Fibrefest.
