My grandmother's buttons.

About a week ago my family came down to visit me.  Amongst the many wonderful treats they brought, was a large brown envelope filled with my grandmother's button collection.  Though I had to stop buying jars of them at flea markets because my collection grew so large, I am happily accepting this contribution.  Though I would usually painstakingly organize these by color, I am considering keeping them all in the envelope they came to me in, so I will always know when I use one of my grandmother's buttons.

My favorites.
