I'm like many of you, I have sooo many. When my grandmother
passed, mother kept hers. Then when my mother passed I had a whole day of button sorting. I do have a half gallon glass jar that is about 3/4 full, and it is made into a lamp
then I have several old odd shape Mason jars on top of my
fabric cabinet. One jar is all white, one red and green,
one metal, and etc. I also filled a couple quart size with
the old wood spools. I just enjoy looking at them.
I don't sew a lot of clothing any more, but when I do I
never seem to have the right size, color, or amount of buttons in my collection, so end up buying some more..
