If It's Old


I have always loved country and especially primitive decor! Quilts, old baskets, stoneware, needlwork, ect. I have seen many items from our decor come and go over the years. The boys used to love to surprise with old railroad spikes, wooden toys and such. I once asked them how they always seemed to know exactly what to get me and Michael answered "if it looks old and ready for the trash then I know you will like it!" LOL! Smart child!

It only stands to reason that I would fall in love with all of the wonderful primitive cross stitch designs available now!

One of my collections is buttons. I have collected them for a long time - before I even realized it was a collection! I have several jars full to the brim of special buttons, ones I take off clothing, decorative shapes, others I just "need" and some passed down to me!

I hope you have a wonderful day and come back to see me real soon!

Buttons are wonderful, aren't they? To me they are comforting just like vintage linens. They are little works of art.

I love your buttons, can I dig my hand around in that jar please. LOL
I have started collecting buttons again. I say again because I use to have a large jar full of them and I let my grandson play with them and well, goodbye buttons. He did have lots of fun with them though.

Oh, Sherry, I love your button jar! I have my Mom's button box that I absolutely love. I need to find a pretty jar to store them in. Right now they're in a Cracker Jack tin. LOL You and I have so much in common!
