Mother had a button box that had the same captivating affect one me as yours did.<br /><br />I think that mother inherited her button box from her mother. It was a large round metal box that was light blue with white filigree vines on it. I see it in my mind at this moment. I spent many hours in that button box. First as a play thing and then later (when mother was teaching me to sew) to find the perfect buttons for our project. Some of the "old" buttons would still have a bit of cloth and thread attached after being cut and saved from a garment that was finally being relegated to the rag bin. Nothing was thrown away by these women who lived through the Depression.<br /><br />I have loved thinking about "momma's button box" today and just wanted to tell you soGWTWDhttp://gonewiththewinddolls.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-53037071182620566062010-10-21T16:06:19.444-04:002010-10-21T16:06:19.444-04:00I have a box of buttons that I use for my daughter...I have a box of buttons that I use for my daughter's math program, and she loves them.
