Wow....THIS sends me back over 50 years, when my (long since deceased) grandmother would give me her metal box full of buttons to play with. She and I would string them onto sewing thread and make bracelets and necklaces. Thanks for the memory! #10500254

Thanks so much, Colette and Michelle!
Michelle, these buttons belonged to my grandmother, who sewed a lot, and collected them, so lots of memories for me as well!
Thanks again, ladies, and happy shooting! #10500721

Peggy, this image brought back memories for me, too. My mom sewed most of my clothes when I was growing up. While she sewed, I would play with the buttons she kept in the button jar. Later she taught me to sew. I don't sew much now, but I still collect buttons to put in my own button jar now. :) #10501058
