She has gallon jars full of every kind and color of button.










It was fun looking at the colors. I picked out the buttons I liked best. I hope she gets more jars . I want to help sort the mixed up ones.

Penny! You are a bullionaire! (A person rich in buttons…) I’ve never seen the like…how beautiful. Do tell all…how did the collecting begin? (And isn’t it irritating that Noni’s biscotti doesn’t come in those big jars anymore?

I never started out collecting buttons. I used lots of buttons in my doll making days. When my friends saw how many I used they started giving me their button collections. Word got around and more people gave me collections. I couldn’t use them as fast as I received them. I always played in my mothers button box as a child. I love the colors, designs and feel of buttons. The buttons in my studio are like jars of candy. Beautiful eye candy. I do love my buttons. I think they are wonderful for kids to play in. You can learn your colors, sort and count. So many more things kids can learn from them.
The jars of buttons in my attic are in those huge jars pretzels used to come in. They don’t make them anymore either. How sad.

I used to love playing with my grandmother’s buttons, and have collected many – I used to think I had a lot! A Corn must have been in button paradise!

Wasn’t it so much fun to play in the buttons. ACorn was in button paradise. I didn’t let him see the collections I have from friends. Some collections mean so much to me I couldn’t bare to sort and separate them.

Thank you ! ACorn I’m sure would love a bed or chairs maybe even a table. He will have to convince his person of the need in order to get them .
