Button, Button

A friend from work gave me a big bag of buttons yesterday. Some of these belonged to her grandmother and aunt who, if they were alive, would be 100 years old by now. Here is a sampling of what I found in the various tins and bags. (Rummaged through it at my desk - couldn't resist!)


My friend, Jane, is a button collector. She belongs to a button club and decorates her home with buttons. Sounds quirky but her collection is really fun to look at and her home is adorable. I'm sure she will be able to enlighten me about this new stash and maybe even find something here she would like to keep.

I don't collect buttons the way Jane does. I just like buttons. I found some pretty jars and will begin to sort through all my buttons and put them on display in my craft room. I've already found a bunch I will be using to scrap with.
