Buttons Forever.....
We have been relocating the shop to Lori's as she is going to take it over. Actually, she already has, The new website name is: www.patchworkcabin.com ~~Crafters Cottage has been taken off of the site name, but its still on my Facebook page. I need some likes on it. :) Hopefully, I can get to sewing and also do some crafts to sell.
In the meantime of all this moving of "stuff", I found my "Buttons" that had been pushed to the back of a shelf,which got me to thinking about them.
I started buying buttons when I was sewing clothes, so I had a few of my own, but over the years, my Mom had given me hers and the ones she had from her Mother and of course, Jim's Mom was a big BUTTON SAVER, :) she kept them in Tin's with lids and had every kind imaginable. The years have passed and I have ended up with everybodie's Buttons. I have the old, old ones that are a certain kind of white and you can't buy anymore, up to the newer ceramic one's I have bought.
The Grand kids have always been fascinated with them. When Cody was little, he would sort through them and put the one's he liked in a jar, make designs and haw them in trucks, but always put them away when he got tired messing with them.
Samantha is working on her first quilt and went for the buttons to put her favorites in the center of each square.
I just find it interesting that these buttons are headed for their fourth generation. Makes one wonder, where they will end up?
I have taken a picture of some of them, but I still have a clear storage container that is full of Buttons. :)
