Thanks, it was part of a challenge. We had to use the teacup fabric and 2 others, 2 charms and a piece of lace. It is full of meaningful things to me. The buttons were DGM's, the lace glove was DGM-in law's, there are many other memories. I thought it was apt as I collect tea cups too.
I have some buttons well over 100 years old, they are on posterboard that I gridded out and have the buttons secured to it with dental floss, then put in archival page protectors to view.
