I buy them all the time with no idea of what I'll use them for. <br /><br />My grandmother would always let me go through her buttons when I went to her house; I love the tinkling sound they make as they swirl around in a glass jar, and the look of all the colours side by side!<br /><br />I use them on sewing projects, and right now I have an idea in mind for a knitted headband with a few buttons for detail - I think it could work!Kaye Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029925048268090807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6038621604484351045.post-19123414935920412862009-10-23T20:36:05.315-07:002009-10-23T20:36:05.315-07:00I so enjoyed your button pictures.

I have very few buttons of my own, but love to put them on bags and pin cushions that I make. I would love to win your giveaway!Mary on Lake Pulaskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965950454417494966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6038621604484351045.post-14146745228441254922009-10-23T14:48:49.011-07:002009-10-23T14:48:49.011-07:00Those are a lot of buttons!

She doesn't even sew anymore, but can't yet part with her lovely button collection. Maybe someday she'll bless me with them. Meanwhile, I'll just have to collect my own, any way I can.

The result -- she has a great stash of buttons (in Nova Scotia, no less, so no use to me here in Ottawa), but I have none. I figure there's karma in it though, right? If I pass on buttons to her, surely the world will send me something equally fabulous? :-)Michelle Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6038621604484351045.post-42163086153086751922009-10-23T07:20:51.647-07:002009-10-23T07:20:51.647-07:00Your pictures are beautiful!

We even eat our M&M's that way...so your pictures spoke to the obsessive sorter in me.<br /><br />We love buttons here! I started my children out when they were young. We sorted them and played with them. Soldiers, animals, checkers, we used them for everything! We'd call them treasure and play pirate coins with them. (We do this with marbles too!)<br /><br />I can't really pick which of the colors is my favorite either. They're all so pretty. What a goldmine of a treasure find.<br /><br />I'd love to make fabric baskets and bags and use the buttons to embellish them. String them together and have them be a necklace on a cute stuffed animal?<br /><br />Our niece, Abbi, is a button nut too. It must be genetic!<br /><br />Thanks for the chance to win and hope you and yours have a great weekend!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367663127351652530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6038621604484351045.post-36307417095070840202009-10-23T05:54:31.934-07:002009-10-23T05:54:31.934-07:00Buttons!!!

I don't really know exactly why I like buttons so much, but I do. There is something so fun about them. they can really add a lot to any project. The wrong button and it's ruined.
