My late DH's grandmother's button tin came to me. My 3 year old grandaughter loves to play with me from that big tin. Fruitcake may have come in it. I also have a wool felted pin cushion I bought. While I was teaching my grandson to quilt, he grouped the quilting pins by color in it. I can't bear to break his pattern. He made that a working treasure. Now when I take it to classes or retreats, everyone thinks I am a bit OCD! LOL! They should see my sewing areas
