Museum Monday: Don’t Mess With Texas

Howdy, y’all! In this installment of Museum Monday we honor The Lone Star State: home of The Alamo, NASA, Bush 43, Dallas, BBQ brisket, and SXSW.

SXSW is one of our fave festivals of the year and it’s only two weeks away! Will you be making the trip to Austin? Let Busy Beaver help promote your band, record label, or musically-inclined organization with an order of custom buttons.

And be sure to check back to the Busy Beaver Button Blog all week where we’ll be sharing a bunch of SXSW-themed ideas and goodies.

Museum Monday: Button Love

Welcome to Museum Monday! This is the first in a series of posts highlighting the extensive button collection at the Busy Beaver Button Museum. From our recently created Glow-bama Button to our collection of historical Beatles buttons, we’ll be showcasing a biweekly roundup of funny, cool, creative, and innovative buttons. We’ve spent years collecting and now we want to share with you!

First up, in honor of V-Day, these love buttons from the “hearts” wing of the museum. Who are A&S and why do they love us? We just don’t know, but it might be because of our awesome slow dance moves.

Be sure to check back in two weeks for the next installment of Museum Monday.

Japanse Newspaper Nikkei Features Busy Beaver Button Co. Museum

We knew button love was strong in China, but now love for badges has taken over Japan! The Busy Beaver Button Co. Museum was recently featured in a Japanese newspaper. Domo arigato, Nippon!

Button up for Super Bowl XLV

This Sunday the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers will battle it out in Dallas for Super Bowl XLV. Who will you be cheering for? We’re still bummed that Da Bears didn’t make it to the big show, so the Busy Beaver crew might be watching the Puppy Bowl instead. Our favorite for Puppy MVP is Charlie, a Yorkshire Terrier mix with the heart of a champion.

And be sure to check out our oval shaped buttons, like the football one featured here from our Busy Beaver Button museum. You can get fifty footballs for only $37! Keep us in mind for Super Bowl XLVI, or Puppy Bowl VIII— whichever you fancy.

 

Maurice Sendak Historic Button

While in high school, Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are, and many other well-loved books, designed and signed this button.

These buddies are sharing a pair of roller skates!
