Day 23 - Vintage - The Button Jar - The button jar sits on my kitchen shelf and I have treasured the contents for so many years. This is filled with buttons that my grandmother would save from old shirts or coats. After she would take the buttons off she would take the fabrics and cut them into strips and make beautiful hand-braided rugs. When I was a small child and we would go to visit she had a big tin filled to the brim with buttons and would take it out of her closet and I would play button , button, whose got the button for hours with her and my sister...always trying to pick the prettiest one out of the pile. The small photo of Grammy and me of course I did not take but thought it added to the vintage part of my story. Not sure if you can see it but there is a thimble in the jar that says Sundbeam Bread ... they used to give them away at the grocery store.
