It's the little (red) things in Life


If you told me I was obsessed with buttons it would be an understatement. I have been collecting them for decades...even as a child. Don't know what started it...don't care...I enjoy buttons

Can you tell?



I have a project goin' on and I needed to separate a few of them by color...

pink, blue, green



even the odd ones...pearl, gold, yellow, orange, purple and silver



I'm saving these...they are some of my favorites



but honestly, nothing excites me more..(well, maybe a few other things) than red ones






and when I'm done playin'...I'll show you what I'm up too

    I'm with you on buttons.I simply cannot resist them.Whenever we see them at yard sales and I reach for them, my daughter (who is 5) will say, "Remember Mommy.NO MORE BUTTONS!"Thanks for sharing.

    Oh! I love this post! My mom had a little ceramic donkey, that had a "basket" on the side and that's where she kept her buttons. I loved playing with them more than anything. I think I feel a new collection coming on! :) Can't wait to see your project.
    Happy Rednesday,

    My button jars were my daughters favorite *toy* when she was little. She'd seperate buttons for hours. Many lovely memories. Your buttons are gorgeous :)

    Blessings!

    I can introduce you to someone else that matches your button collection. She is even starting to inherit the collections of others that are downsizing.

    Nice thing is she is my sister and I can always go rob her collection when one of mine goes missing.

    I have been crazy for buttons since I was a little girl. I would play with a Christmas tin or Mason jar full of buttons for hours. Don't you just love the feel of picking up a handful? Great post!

    Sorry Bunny, I had to delete my comment because I had repeated myself! What I meant to say is, your collection is wonderful! I have a few jars that I like to spread out and play with them too. Can't wait to see what you'll do with yours!
    Happy REDnesday!

    I confess to a similar button obsession, including a few treasured favourites that I can never bear to use! Though my collection is paltry and insignificant compared to yours Bunny - I think you should share! x
