TheCenturion: May 3, 2013; HI I LIKE TO GIVE ADVICE ON RELATIONSHIPS

I have need to build a little device that it seems to me should involve two LEDs, two switches, some electrical tape, some wiring, and the ability to read the + and - side on a battery. But I'm hampered by not quite knowing what to search for in a product list. Also, difficulty: rural Canada.
What I need:
a small battery (AA, CR2032, whatever)
An orange LED which would be hooked up to a tiny on/off switch. A latching switch?
A red LED hooked up to a button that activates when held down, and deactivates when not held down. SPST?

That's really it. What parts am I looking for, and where do I find them easily in Canada?
