Some are "sew-on" and some are "shank". Shanks are best if you are using them with buttonholes. For decoration on wall quilts, for instance, I always use the sew-ons. Shanks tend to droop.

Ditto for Home Sew. Have used for years.

I have actually found some shaped buttons in the scrapbooking section at Hobby Lobby and AC Moore, Joannes also but be careful sometimes they do not have the shanks

I did a Google search and came up with the following options:

You can also go to the Simplicity pattern site, probably the other pattern makers as well, as they would have decorative buttons for their pattern lines.
