I did not grow up with a grandma, mom or aunt that would sew. I don't know how to sew either. So I don't know why I have this love of buttons.What is it that makes us collect and display buttons?
Is it all the different shapes and designs?
Some buttons have two holes.
Some have four holes.
Some you can't even see the hole as they are attached from under the button.
Do we love them because they come in all different sizes?
Some of them even have the old thread still in them.
Or do we like the way they looked when they are in different containers. Like this pretty jar.
I like them even in simple jars like this one.
Look how fun they look in a jar that was meant for candy.
Even in this little cherub pot they look good.
I don't know what it is about buttons but I love them. I love to look at them. I love to play with them. I love to hold them or just run my fingers through them.
I don't have them because they are worth anything. I know some buttons are but I wouldn't know a good one from a bad one. They are all just buttons to me.
How about you? Do you love buttons? If so, why. What do you do with the buttons you have? Where do you display them? Where did you get them?
Do you have a favorite type or color of button you collect? I only have white ones, blue ones and a few with rhinestones. I would love to start a collection of pink buttons.
Hugs,
Joanne
