I have a bag of shirts from my father, and have been racking my brain trying to figure out what I want to do with them.. I have his ties also.. Dad's been gone for three years, and I'm not any closer to figureing it out.. The buttons could come in handy if you tie a quilt.. I used them instead of tieing a quilt.. I also might consider using the buttons on a quilt as embellishment..

Whew, that's a relief; for a minute there I thought maybe you'd been influenced by some of the day's chuckles we've been reading about female revenge! I wondered if he'd be walking around in black plastic garbage bags!

String the buttons together and they make cute bracelets for kids.

that's perfect for recycling men's shirts and/or a memory quilt.

The ones you don't sell in the yard sale could be donated to a shelter or church but dress shirts aren't as needed as work shirts, plaids flannels, etc. I cut up my hubby's dress shirts too because no one wanted them at the mission.
