Marc welcomes Susan Davis, the beloved creative force behind Grandmother’s Buttons, a shop that became a Saint Francisville landmark and a destination for visitors from around the world. Susan shares how a drawer full of her grandmother’s buttons sparked a decades-long journey of design, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurship—transforming antique buttons into beautiful jewelry and building a business that reached museums and historic sites across the globe. Their conversation wanders through the history of buttons, the stories behind her iconic building, brushes with Hollywood, and the joy of returning to creativity in retirement. A rich, nostalgic, and fascinating visit with one of the town’s true originals.
