I'm lucky enough to have a stash of vintage buttons. Some are from my Grandmother, some are from my mother (70s originals!), the one I used for the little blue dress came from a pair of dungarees that I myself wore as a toddler.
The buttons have been stored in various bags and drawers and I finally got a jar to display them. I have my sewing stuff out in the living room the whole time, I might as well make decor of it, right? The girls had fun emptying all the buttons into the jar and I had them empty all those little packages of spare buttons that come with coats and jackets. We had a guessing game to see how far up the jar the buttons would come. I won, they thought more.
The extra bonus was the Kilner jar so I can decorate it with scraps of fabric from my projects. It fits right in on the mantlepiece!
