Creekstone Cheesecakes wouldn’t be where it is today without Button Willow, and we’re so grateful for that!
Joe and Angela, congratulations on your retirement! What you’ve built is truly special, and we’re honored to carry the torch forward — continuing to grow in that same spirit you’ve created. We wish you the very best in your next chapter!!
Hello Everyone,
After 10½ beautiful years, Angela and I have made the decision to officially retire and pass Button Willow on to new ownership.
What started in 2015 as Treasures on Main became something so much more than a shop or a coffee stop… it became a place where people gathered, where friendships were formed, where stories were shared, and where everyone was welcomed just as they were.
Button Willow was never just about what we sold—it was about how it made people feel.
And that’s because of all of you.
To our employees… you became family in every sense of the word. You poured your hearts into this place, and it showed every single day.
To our customers and friends… thank you for walking through our doors, for supporting us, for choosing us, and for allowing Button Willow to be a small part of your lives. You are the heartbeat of everything this place has been.
It’s hard to put into words what these years have meant—10 Jamborees, 10 Homecoming Parades, 10 Boo Bashes, 10 Christmas Parades… and countless ordinary days that turned into unforgettable memories. Time has a way of moving quickly, but the moments we’ve shared here will stay with us forever.
As this chapter comes to a close, we couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.
It is truly an honor to pass the torch to Matt and Jessica Stribling, owners of Creekstone Cheesecakes. We believe deeply in their vision, their heart, and their commitment to community, and we know they will carry Button Willow forward with the same spirit you’ve come to know and love.
Our hope is to make this transition as seamless and thoughtful as possible for our families, our team, and all of you. Button Willow will be closed on Monday, March 30 as we take care of final details, and will reopen under new ownership on Tuesday, March 31.
Smithville… thank you. For your support, your kindness, your loyalty, and your love over the years. This place has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives.
Before we close this chapter, we would love to hear your stories—your favorite memories, your photos, the moments that made Button Willow special to you. 🤍
Because in the end… that’s what this was always about.
With all our gratitude and love,
Joe & Angela Brown Family
✨ Stay tuned for Part 2 of this announcement, where you’ll hear from the new owners, Matt and Jessica Stribling, as they share their heart and vision for the future of Button Willow.
