Everyone has a few but I inherited a jar filled by a great great aunt. Then I inherited more when my mother died. I had been accumulating buttons myself for forty years so I combined them into the potty. Every new sweater and blouse adds a little button baggy and like Victoria...never gets used. I am very fond of my collection but I wonder what will happen to them when it is my turn to go. No one else will cherish them for their uniqueness and age.

Those good reviews give folks confidence in the book and help sales, which in turn helps me keep writing the series!<br /><br />I know what you mean about having stuff from *before* it was considered vintage!

(When some of the things were not yet "vintage")<br />As soon as I finished the book, I immediately wrote and posted a review on Amazon because I want others to read and enjoy this as much as I have.<br />I really can't wait till the next in the series.<br />I have tons of old buttons too, most are in a two-gallon pickle jar that acts as a door stop in my bedroom and the rest in a cabinet that has twenty-four small drawers that do not fit much else.<br />I do have a blog where some of my collectibles are pictured as are a number of original family recipes.<br />http://www.asenjigalblogs.com/andiesenjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268639995772133486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286902062764756319.post-21264286004580713212012-05-07T03:58:44.760-07:002012-05-07T03:58:44.760-07:00Sometimes when I give the clothes away, I remember...Sometimes when I give the clothes away, I remember to fish out the little plastic baggie with the extra button and pin it to the garments... sometimes.
