When Grandad passed away, I got the buttons. <BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/>- FrannaFrannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251158925458606105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27713421.post-16516815374093916872008-04-22T16:53:00.000-07:002008-04-22T16:53:00.000-07:00I love buttons.

I have mine sorted by color and or type in one of those gadget boxes with all those little drawers from the hardware store.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27713421.post-47080438378703708902008-04-22T15:21:00.000-07:002008-04-22T15:21:00.000-07:00When my friend Willie Wae died more years ago than...When my friend Willie Wae died more years ago than I can remember, a group of friends were asked to sort through her old crafts. I got all her buttons. I have jars of them. I can't bear to use too many of them because they belonged to her. Thanks for the memory. I haven't thought about those buttons in years. I have to go and get them out and take a look at them.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27713421.post-34190579005101235112008-04-22T14:39:00.000-07:002008-04-22T14:39:00.000-07:00I have my grandmother's button bag with all the bu...I have my grandmother's button bag with all the buttons from the early 1900s on. I, too, sat for hours looking at all the buttons...wondering if they would ever be used on a piece of clothing again.<BR/>I have come to view them both with awe and wonder - that I have all these buttons, but still lose socks in the wash never to be seen again. Maybe those old wire hangers turn into buttons?<BR/>There are some so small I wonder how they attached them as they only have one hole.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27713421.post-81390135706445737112008-04-21T22:49:00.000-07:002008-04-21T22:49:00.000-07:00My mother had a killer button jar.

Years ago I knew what the buttons went to. Maybe I once knew where these went too - just more stuff to forget.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.com
