I am another button lover...I have many jars of buttons, sorted by color...I use them sometimes on quilts, sometimes to make bracelets or necklaces, sew on clothes...as decoration...they are fun to "play with"...most of them I bought years ago at antique stores...so many are "collectable." Every few years we have a button show in town...when I go to that, I see just how crazy a person can go collecting buttons...and how expensive they can be if someone is a "real collector"...which I am not...just a for fun collector.
