About Us

Flicking through a pile of home, garden and lifestyle magazines one Sunday afternoon, the first shoots of Spotty Button took hold, hung around and wouldn't let go. Not from one of those boil-in-the-bag business solutions but simply from a love of all things nice.

So after 20 years as a midwife and with two children growing up fast, I decided to start my own business - selling the sort of beautiful, funky, retro things I'd see and love dotted around friends' houses.

I try to do things the way I'd want if I was a customer - an eclectic mix of gifts and home accessories at competitive prices, an experience which makes shopping from the comfort of your home more enjoyable, and a service which values customer care as much as the things it sells.

I could tell you that I've got a network of buyers on every continent but who am I kidding. With the occasional help of a few friends, I'm the one who clocks up the miles at trade fairs sourcing new stock, pays the bills, answers the telephone and stays up till all hours to get orders out.

I like it that way. I hope you do too.
