Do you collect buttons and old spools of thread?
Yes, I have lots of buttons and display them in old glass Ball Jars with the wire lids on them. Also have a huge pickle jar full of old spools of thread. They look so pretty and I have the buttons sorted by sizes in the jars.

When I was a little girl I remember going to my great grandma's house and spending lots of time looking at all the pretty buttons in her button jar, so as soon as I became a grandmother (18 years ago) I started collecting buttons so my grandchildren could do the same thing and they do. I sure wish I could find out whatever happened to grandma's button jars.

I have an old canning jar of buttons and one of old wooden spools of thread at my sewing station.
I wish I had the buttons my Memere used to have; because when we were kids, my cousins and I used to like to sew them onto paper to make pictures. Those were the days!
