Default My fancy button jar

It is an old bourbon bottle. My husband suggested I wash it out and put some of my buttons in it.

Sandy says Hi...lol

A good use of something that would have ended up in a landfill somewhere. Hope you never have to empty it out to get that one perfect button down towards the bottom...LOL

Wow!!! Now that's my kind of collector bottle!

Love the sweet pooch with the black-eye, too!

Unusual bottle -

Looks like some intriguing buttons there, too.

Yes, I love the bottle, is it an older bottle. Also I love all the button, I collect them. I have my fathers navy uniform from the 40's and it has a lot of buttons on it. I was to afraid to take them off the uniform because I was afraid to desecrate his uniform.

I have five gallon glass jugs of buttons. My daughter asked me what should she do with the button once I'm gone. She does not want the buttons but likes the jugs. I have no idea. I need to give a lot of my stuff a proper dignity good bye before I have no say so.
