Buttons and then some.

I finally bagged a lot of these old buttons and sold them.  Why one thinks they need so many is not a question a crafter/artist can answer.  Maybe it starts when as little girls we get to play with our Grandmother's button box.  We all have stashes of fabric we'll never use, trims we'll never use and for sure buttons we'll never use.  My answer to why we stash is because we cannot readily find vintage findings easily.  It takes years of prodding through flea markets, antique shops, garage sales (I hate garage sales) and thrift shops.  My favorite places to find these bits and pieces are at church rummage sales.  They are the most reasonable and they work so hard to raise the money that they donate to charitable organizations.
