Buttons. Buttons. I've got buttons!











Last Saturday, my mom and I went to visit our cousins Happy and Bob and their spouses in Port Charlotte, about 2 hours south of us. More to come on that later!

When I picked mom up, she hands me a gallon size Ziploc bag of buttons that her friend Ruth picked up cheap at one of the garage sales she went to. Ruth is a dedicated garage saler! Every weekend you can find her out looking for the next bargain or something she never knew she needed! She knows I'ma crafter, so she picked up these buttons for mom to pass on to me. I've been having the best time going thru them! Some are on cards, but most are in these adorable little envies that I'm saving to incorporate on my cards or layouts. There was also a vintage CocaCola tin with a sewing kit inside it and an old (I think!) blue glass rabbit. So cute! He will now have a place of honor on my craft shelves. I've not even scratched the surface of separating the buttons as you can see by the still bulging Ziploc bag! I wonder what other treasures I'll find.....
