Hello Dear Friends!
It's time once again for a new challenge at
Our hostess today is Anna and she has chosen the theme ...
BUTTONS
I must admit I rarely use buttons on my cards.
Probably because it might add bulk which then adds costs for mailing. I sell a lot of my cards and the ladies either want one stamp creations or they don't give a hoot and go for the ones with lots of layers & embellishments! LOL
But today, when I saw Anna's theme, my mind went immediately went to the old 'button jar' my mom & grandmother both had.
Back in the day ... (giving away my age) ... we did our laundry with the old wringer washer. Well, it never failed, if you didn't get the blouses & shirts started through the wringer proper, you were sure to pop off a few buttons. When this happened Mom would simply add them to the jar along with all the buttons that were cut from older garments that were being discarded. And trust me ... nothing was 'discarded' until it was WELL WORN by several in the family!
Do you remember the days of HAND ME DOWNS? LOL
And the jar we used was usually a quart size canning jar (aka Mason Jar).
There were always a lot of those around because we home canned everything under the sun!! We had a huge garden and with three of us girls, we spent many hours helping Mom do the canning every summer/fall.
