This is my button jar. It is rather pathetic so far, but I hope to build up my button collection gradually. One of the most magical things about visiting my grandparents when I was small was being allowed to empty Granny's button jar out onto the carpet and play with all the buttons. There were some amazing ones - the gold ones with the coat of arms on them from Grandpa's police uniform, the little red ones shaped like boats, the ones with cat pictures on them ... I don't know what happened to the buttons after Granny dies, but I hope they went to a good home.
