I have a button box, well more of a button tin. It is old, my mother gave it to me and it may be my favorite item. I don't know what it is about it. I have looked through it hundreds of times and never get bored at looking at those old buttons. Some still have the string attached from where they once served a utilitarian purpose. They used to be used for more than pretty things to touch and look at. I love that some are going out into the world on items that I create for special people. I love the thought that someone might look at it and think what a totally awesome button. Ever since I started selling my goods, I have become addicted to these little disks with 2 holes or 4. I catch myself just looking at them, mixing them around the tin and always feeling like it is the first time I ever saw them.
What really makes me smile these days is the fact that when I pull the button tin out, Pie comes running because he LOVES looking at those buttons. It must be genetic:)
