There is a dear lady who sews the matching buttons onto "card' recycled from anything Cereal packets or whatever. I keep them like this though would love to mix them up in a jar.<br />Mum would have loose buttins in a jar, hopefully shaking that the right button would appear withou undoing it.<br />I also have buttons in jars, in clar heavy duty plastic bags. Just love them.<br />The same lady also winds lace around card to purchase too. Then there are old doileys.<br />Love looking through the stash<br />AvagoodweegendZuzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437121167026489077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467360809120931160.post-17815641850422787282012-08-30T18:30:49.297-07:002012-08-30T18:30:49.297-07:00Not only do I remember doing just the same thing, ...Not only do I remember doing just the same thing, but my Mom had a tomato pin cushion and I would push all the pins down flat. She would get so mad every time she would go to get one. : ) And she had this huge thingy that attached to her machine that made button holes! The memories that you have made come flooding back.<br />When my children were younger we would go to this fabric store and they had all their buttons in a old wash tub. My girls would just run their hands in and out over and over. I have to admit I did it too.

Oh you have got some of the same memories that I had as a small girl, the button tin, sometimes it even had a few other little items in it like a diaper pin or a snap, hook& eye fastener, but the bulk was buttons and how they were loved! It seems silly that a woman my age would get excited over a silly buttons but the shapes and colors were like a bunch of magnets. I believe that just about everyone I know who sews or does crafts loves them. I know there are people who actually collect them to display in cases on walls. Remember the ones made of shells, I still have some of those.<br />(((HUGS))) Susanne :)Susannehttp://forget-me-not-susanne.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467360809120931160.post-18360504260478231522012-08-29T17:51:05.554-07:002012-08-29T17:51:05.554-07:00Dear Debbie

I'd love to sort them by color int mason jars at some point, but I just don't have the shelf space to display them right now. Also saw a great lamp made by using a large jar filled to the top with buttons, with the electrical part attached to the lid. It was so cute.<br />I love your blog.<br />Have a great weekend.<br />Cheers<br />maggie in Mainemaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020075304328338419noreply@blogger.com
