A week off at Cow & Ghost Towers. A few days away booked in Devon with the hope of finding some goodies for the stall. A few days before to catch up. Doing some cleaning and tidying. When the weather improves every spare second will be spent in the garden, so dusting while the going is good.....
Struck by the number of buttons we have around the house. I buy them when I see them, but hadn't noticed how they'd mounted up. Often dip in for craft and sewing projects, and usually end up spending a few minutes just looking at the general selection.
Colour co-ordinated to match our blue and white bedroom, and an old chocolate box on top of the wardrobe. When I was young, most houses had a tin or a box where buttons and buckles were stored and added to.
Sill vases are a favourite, and this one has slowly filled up......
Lastly this tin lived in my grandmother's under stairs cupboard. It belonged to her mother. As a child I can remember spending rainy afternoons playing with them and sorting by colour and size. Happy memories.
Hope this inspires our followers to dig out a stash or start one up. Happy collecting.
