I am so glad I found this group, I am a new member.
For years I have collected jars of buttons from estate sales. Going through the jars of buttons is like digging for treasure! When I was a child my mom had a large tin filled with buttons. My sisters and friends would spend rainy days sorting them and stringing them into beautiful necklaces and bracelets. Wonderful memories created from simple objects. That is why I cannot pass by a jar or bag of buttons, without wanting to spill them out and look them over.
I need to grow my knowledge of buttons, I have use older buttons on craft projects and now need to understand their origins and value. Recently I started to sort and organize them. I have posted a photo showing some of our efforts. I hope you enjoy the photos.
