Midwest Modern: Amy Butler at Work

Amy says, "My desk is a farm table with retrofitted legs so I can get my knees under it! I collect old tea tins for pencils and tools. They're fun and inspiring. I have a curio cabinet where I keep favorite brooches and pins, also for inspiration. And I redecorate the studio every time a new collection comes out."
