Buttons and Stories

I absolutely love buttons! I think it's cuz of all the cool designs, colors, and the stories they tell. A lot of the buttons I have were handed down to my from my mom and she had a sibling that owned a furrier, so I have some buttons with animal fur on them...and other buttons I've just collected over the years.
I use them a lot in making my tags as well as my aprons because I think embellishing with them adds depth to the piece.

There was rice in this cool jar, but now that it's empty I see that it serves better as a button jar!

Give me your thoughts.

I just finished my father-ion-law's 75th birthday gift, but I won't post the pix until after he opens it, just in case my mother-in-law reads this!~
