Vintage buttons


*Vintage Buttons*

2 lovely words, aren’t they? 

My passion for buttons started early on when my grandmother gave me a box of buttons she’d saved through the years. She wasn’t much for sewing but always clipped buttons from worn-out clothing. Unfortunately I lost those buttons during a move from Florida to Indiana. :(

While recently visiting my parents, my mom pulled out her sewing kit and dug out all the buttons she had saved over the years. And this past summer my Lee’s mom gave me a bag of buttons she had collected over the years. These buttons will eventually find a place in one of my many projects—a little decorative touch to a sweater or poncho, perhaps the cuff of a glove, and many buttons are used for eyes and noses on my critter hats – each one different!
