A hundred years ago, my mother played this button game, with her 5 sisters, as a small child.
I think I must have loved buttons ever since my mother taught me this game.
I love going to estate saless, yard sales and thrift stores where I have found and added many buttons to my collection.
I keep a lot of my buttons in jars, seperated by color. Of course the white Mother-of-Pearl buttons go in al old milk bottle.
Buttons are so versitle and can be used in all kinds of crafts as well as handy to have when your favorite blouse loses a button.
At my grandaughter's ninth birthday, the girls made button rings, (from my stash of buttons of course.)
I have many buttons on their original cards...too cute to remove the buttons. I keep some of those in a big jar also. I do have buttons, carded buttons, and crafts with buttons in my etsy shop: http://www.allthingshomey.etsy.com

This is such a cute little post. I love buttons myself, especially the vintage ones.
Hi, I was on looking for bottles of buttons for display ideas, and found your blog, thought I would follow. Hope to see more another day.
