To All Our Valued Customers,
They say that all good things must end someday. Sadly, it seems the
time has come for us to say goodbye. After more than 75 years of
providing sewing, knitting, and needlework supplies to the Boston
community, Windsor Button will be closing its doors. We have lost our
lease, as our landlord plans to renovate our space.
We realize that Windsor Button holds a special place in the hearts and
minds of many New Englanders. Over the years many of you have
shared stories and reminisced about shopping at Windsor Button with
your mother or grandmother, working at one of the 10 stores, or buying
your bridal veil at Windsor. Almost every day, someone will say
“I don’t know what I’d do without you”.
The Boston store was the original, and has been the only remaining
Windsor Button for the past 20 years. When we purchased the shop in
1998, yarn was not even in the product mix. Look how far we’ve come!
We’ve evolved into a full-service knitting shop and have taught
countless numbers of you to knit and/or crochet. It has been a journey
that has at times been trying, but also intensely rewarding. We have
lived, laughed, and of course knitted and crocheted together. We’ve
shared joys and heartbreak with many of you and forged friendships
along the way.
We ask for your continued support as we sell off our extensive
inventory. Please tell your friends, co-workers, family, fellow
commuters, and everyone you meet. They will thank you for sharing the
news. We appreciate your support and will miss you.
Please join us for one last trip down memory lane!
Susan & Stanley Baker
